Shawn English taking gospel music to another level!!!

Thirty-three-year-old Shawn English is a man of God and an accomplished musician. He is most well known for spreading his passion for inspiring young people with his upbeat and diverse lyrics, in songs like “Trixx” and “Awesome God”.
Though Shawn feels led to specifically advocate for youth, his sound is timeless, influencing all generations that hear and identify with his positive messages.

He was born to Rosel and Adrian English; two exceptional vocalists in their own rights. With such talent surrounding him, Shawn grew both as a person and a singer.
Although Shawn’s parents played a pivotal role in recognising and developing his talent, however he better realised his potential as a vocalist during his tenure at West Ruimveldt Primary School. There, under the guidance of Sir Wilfred Success, he, along with singers such as Dallas Forte and Rene Chester, honed their natural talent on the national stage.
In 2006, at the age of 23, Shawn entered the GT&T Jingle Competition. Not only did he win the competition, but it also opened many doors for his fresh new sound. Later that year, Shawn released his first single – “Blinded”, which received good reviews, especially in the rock fraternity. Other songs, such as “Chains” and “The Name” followed in the subsequent year.
In 2009, Shawn had a vision to bring morality back into secondary schools through music. This vision led to the creation of what he calls the “Focus” project. He saw this project as a chance to give students a “third” choice to the Gaza and Gully phenomenon; that being the God factor (Trinity)! In that same year, he released the first song in this project “Focus” which really captures what the entire project is about.
Whilst still trying to ‘put things in focus’ on his “Focus” album; in October of 2011, Shawn English connected with Selah Muzik out of Georgia (www.selahmuzik.com) and released his first single with Selah called “Go Hard” in 2012.
Shawn continued to devote the remainder of 2012 to the promotion of “Focus” through various church events and activities around the country. During this time and the year to follow, Shawn featured in numerous shows and events across Guyana where he shared the stage with other internationally recognised artistes such as Papa San, DJ Nicholas, Chevelle Franklin, Prodigal Son, Sherwin Gardner, Eddie Neblette, St Matthew Jason Mighty and many others.
If you ask him today, Shawn will say he’s terrible at multitasking, and yet he is always working on several musical endeavours at any given time. In 2014, while pushing his music internationally and developing a fan base in Antigua, Shawn was also working on new tracks with up and coming producer Andrew “Drew Thoven” King, creating a new sound for Shawn E to ride on which birthed singles such as “Get High” and “Da S&S”.
In 2015, the young and talented artiste released his music video for ”Get High” and would have shared the stage with several artistes in Anguilla, St Maarten and St Kitts and Nevis during a gospel tour.
Shawn seized the moment and connected with several key promoters/ producers from The Bahamas, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada which saw the formation of song material for the 2016 EP being created.
His brand ‘Emusic’ also became more recognised and he released his first Christmas single through the KKR production “Christmas With Us” Vol 2 Christmas Album project. This landed him the title of “First Guyanese to have a Christmas Carol” – a title awarded by NCN Guyana in November of 2015 after music reviews were completed).
It is almost the end of 2016 and Shawn believes that it has been an exceptional year thus far.
