Music is the University Language and as Bob Marley said "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain!"
ABOUT PROJECT:“The Catalyst” will consist of 4 original and 2 cover songs. They are completely written, but I need your support to make this EP a success. In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance which speeds up a reaction without itself being affected, and as a passionate person, I’m actively and continually catalyzing, transforming and naturally empowering others. As an artist, touching the world with each song is an important goal of mine. Each original song, each cover, and each performance tells a story. When I’m not studying or recording in the studio, I’m practicing for live performances.
ABOUT ME: Each of you will quickly observe that I love to smile… being happy is my forte, after all, I’ve been blessed with my mother’s smile, so why not use it. I’ve been taught the importance to “LIFT AS YOU CLIMB” and I encourage my friends to surround themselves with positive people and positive music because negative emotion can make it difficult to handle situations accordingly. Through music and personal interaction I like to motivate others to reach their goals, so follow me on twitter @MusicByShawnD to see inspiring quotes. My favorite hash-tag is #LOVE.LIVE.GIVE

Here is a little teaser to the words of one of my many songs......... "Say"
“Say”
Verse 1
I sit and watch the raindrops fall
I can imagine the tears down your face
As you convince yourself
That I forgot about it all
The way you laughed, smiled
Turned my day around
And now you go and tell yourself
I’ve found someone
I don’t need nobody else
I don’t need you
Couldn't be farther from the truth
