In the early 80s, he was as a founder member of the rock band Bronz: one of the first British bands to feature heavily on the newly launched MTV. Their first album Taken by Storm - written by Shaun, and two others in the band - achieves a very creditable and impressive top 100 position in the States and top 10 (rock chart) in the UK. When Bronz folded - having worked and gained invaluable experience as a musician in some of the best studios around the world with many top producers and respected engineers - Shaun chose to set up his own studio, The Kirk. The studio was located in a converted 19th century chapel in the depths of Somerset. Here he moved into freelance production and engineering for independent bands and labels.
