Shayne's bio

Shayne Orok is a musician residing in Canada who writes music to inspire and make others happy. He began playing music at the early age of 6 through piano lessons with a neighbourhood teacher. He also joined a choir soon after which is where he developed much of his vocal ability. Several years later, Shayne had quit both piano lessons and choir in order to pursue other styles of music. As he discovered new artists online, he grew more and more interested in the idea of posting his own material online as well.

Around March 2009, Shayne uploaded his first cover song to YouTube on an existing account under the name ‘elshaynez’. Eventually, Shayne started writing his own music at the suggestion of many users commenting his videos, his first original entitled “You’re The One” (first released online in June 2009). Through constantly uploading covers and originals, he has gained quite a following online.

He participated in MBC Star Audition "The Great Birth" in 2010 - 2011 and reached TOP 3 before being eliminated. As of now he signed up a contract with Sony Music Entertainment Korea, and has already released several singles including "Last Christmas" and "Summer Love" and a mini-album "The Gift". Shayne's song "Story" was part of the OST for Korean drama "Flower Boy Ramyun Shop". His 2nd mini-album "Shayne's World" was released on 13th of March. close
