Shane Beales

Shane Beales grew up living in England and Australia. The contrasting cultures and attitides of both nations shaped him (as well as always having the wrong accent in school). Part of a very musical family and surrounded by instruments of all shapes and sizes, it was percussion that most grabbed Shane's attention. And on his 12th birthday he finally upgraded from the family set of bongo's to own a real life drum kit!

In '99, he moved from Melbourne to the Essex countryside. Separated from his drum-kit and with little else to do, Shane assaulted the piano daily and found himself almost constantly writing new songs. It was here he discovered and honed his love of writing.

Relocating from Colchester to Liverpool, Shane has continued to write and perform, amassing an impressive and ever-growing catalogue of songs. He has so far independently released two albums "I'll repair your mistakes" (with his former-band Baby Ingrid) and "Delight in You" and 3 EP's. Most recently he embarked on and completed his most ambitious songwriting project to date: "Project 52" the challenge to write, record and release a new song every week for a year.

Playing virtually every note, of every instrument, of every song himself, Project 52 produced some of Shane's finest work to date.

Since moving to London, Shane has released the gorgeous EP Heavy Clouds and is now actively seeking to further his musical career.
