Shawn Desman Thursday April 14

With an accomplished career including a platinum debut album, a sophomore Juno Award winning album for Best R&B/Soul Recording, chart-topping singles and videos, movie performances and numerous accolades under his belt, singer, dancer, actor, songwriter and producer Shawn Desman is launching his highly anticipated new album. And it's undeniable that Desman's third highly anticipated album "Fresh" represents a tremendous progression of his career.

From the moment he released his self titled debut platinum-selling album in the fall of 2002, Shawn Desman has enjoyed phenomenal success in the music industry. His album spent an incredible 49 weeks on the SoundScan Top 200 sales chart and produced two Top 10 singles and two number one videos. He instantly proved he was about to become a superstar entertainer worthy of all the critical acclaim and destined to be at the forefront of the global music stage.

Desman's visibility then soared to even greater heights after the subsequent release of his sophomore gold-selling album "Back for More" which produced a #1 hit single, three Top 10 hit singles, and also garnered him a Juno Award for Best R&B/Soul Recording. Desman's hit single "Spread My Wings" was featured in the film "Kangaroo Jack" and appeared on the soundtrack. Desman has also worked with acclaimed producers Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child, and Whitney Houston) and Tricky Stewart (Beyonce, Rihanna, and Mary J Blige)

His high-energy, infectious single, "Let's Go," exploded onto the Top 40 radio chart after just 1 week, peaking at #1. His extensive tour schedules, both in Canada and abroad, showcased him as a dynamic and energetic performer and received extensive praise from international fans.

It was these stellar live shows, coupled with the awards and album sales, which further bolstered Desman's successful debut and international growth. The release of "Back for More" in Europe resulted in Desman moving to Germany for a short time as the singles flew up the international charts.

Despite the frenetic pace of his own career, Desman, has collaborated with other artists and producers to continue to explore the possibilities of music. He has co-written and co-produced 3 consecutive Juno Award winning albums in the Best R&B/Soul category. His passion for music continues to have him write and produce for artists and labels around the world.

Desman continues to have a very successful acting career including roles in Paramount MTV"s feature film "How She Move,"  "Honey" starring Jessica Alba and "Get Over It" featuring Carmen Electra.

Having spent most of his life working diligently as a world renowned entertainer and performer, Desman continues to strive to leave an indelible mark on the human experience. (shawndesman.com)
