Singer/songwriter Shawn Hlookoff makes it look easy. His chiseled features, dreamy eyes and ear-to-ear grin are captivating to say the least, but nothing can conceal the energy bursting from within the British Columbia native. With critically acclaimed full-length album Both Sides, songs on hit shows such as MTV’s The Hills and ABC’s Eli Stone, and a Guinness World Record under his belt, Shawn is a force to be reckoned with.

Shawn started singing at a young age and quickly began experimenting musically, becoming proficient on the guitar, piano, bass and trombone. His extensive catalogue of songs is sprinkled with influences from some of the greats; Elton John, Coldplay, Marvin Gay, John Mayer and Radiohead to name a few.
