notes

SHAWN MICHAEL PERRY has taken the multi-hyphenate to new heights. This singer/songwriter/actor/educator/activist was born in Southern California into indigenous heritage (his father is a Native American of Salish ancestry; his mother, Panamanian of Mayan ancestry), Shawn has embraced his culture, past and present with an eye to the future.

Shawn first came to the public's attention through his acting skills. He has appeared in films as diverse as Last of the Mohicans and Hidalgo and television productions such as My Indian Summer. His stage credits include the highly-acclaimed production of Ghost Dance at Los Angeles's Actors Gang Studio.

Shawn's musical ambitions led him to the studio with a collection of songs highlighting the human experience as seen through indigenous eyes. The strength of his music and beauty of his words was enhanced by producer John Avila, the talented bassist/producer of Oingo Boingo. Final polishing was added by the skillful mastering techniques of Ron McMaster (Capitol Records). The results were marketed as the limited edition "RUN2U". Tracks "Freedom" and "Libertad" received terrific response and airplay. Due to their popularity, these songs are featured on the new full-length CD, SHAWN MICHAEL PERRY & ONLY THE BRAVE. Together with his band, Only the Brave, Shawn is on the road, spreading his message.In 2006 shawn along with Kay Knott formed ALL THAT CULTURE, MUSIC OF THE AMERICAS Shawn continues to break new ground with the selection of FIGHT one of the tracks off this cd for SPIKE television's documentary of legendary tennis pro PONCHO GONZALEZ, and the track FOREVER HAS BEEN CLIMBING THE CHARTS BOTH COUNTRY AND HOT AC.... SHAWN IS THE NEW ARTIST TO WATCH FOR 2007/2008 ...... www.myspace.com/shawnmperry

    being native myself, i m glad to see a native in music.his music is very beautful.

  • Exceptional voice
    author: lz

    Unique and original musically, the vocals are strong and clear. Shawn has a great vocal range and he uses it beautifully. The more I listen to this cd the more I appreciate it. The only suggestion I have is that I would like to see the artists incorporate more of their cultural language(s)into their songs. English and Spanish are not indigenious to this hemisphere although most people don't even realize this, or chose not to. We have lost so many of our languages and if we write them into our lyrics it will keep them alive, and educate those who listen. I look forward to Shawns future work.

  • This music has something I fell in love with instantly
    author: Cassie

    I haven't even heard all the songs yet and I'm head over heels in love with this music. You can hear these guys mean what they're playing/singing, something that is rarely found in the popular music of today. The lyrics actually mean something which makes the music so much more interesting.

  • Great vocal range and amazing talent
