Shern remembers falling in love with music at a very young age. His early listening ranged from his parent's collection of ABBA hits in to songs from tv shows and video games, and of course the 80's radio airplay.
Ironically his first brush with an instrument was not with the guitar but with the violin at the age of 9. He had formal training but soon found classical music to be boring and dropped it. It was later on in his teenage years, at the age of 17, he discovered the electric guitar and rock music and fell in love with the magic and havoc that a 6-string through a distorted amp could create.
Today, having listened to, and played in, bands with singers regardless of language, Shern has recently kindled an interest in a genre obscure to mainstream music: instrumental rock music. Music without lyrics reaches across language barriers, plus being a guitarist, it all made sense.
In 2009, Shern has taken his first step as an artist and released "Bloom" a 4 track guitar instrumental rock EP. With Bloom released, Shern looks forward to future instrumental releases.
Shern's influences include Rosli Mansor, Andy Timmons, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, EVH. He also enjoys listening to J-anime and various video game soundtracks.
Bloom, was released on 2nd May 2009.
