The Artist Born in the Middle East to a Turkish Mother and a Russian father, Shony grew up in an environment rich with cultures and music. Musical elements from North Africa, Eastern Europe, Spain, American jazz, Blues and British Rock, influenced Shony’s musical development. Shony picked up the guitar at the age of ten and never stopped playing since. At the age of 26 Shony moved to England and a few years later, on to Canada where he made his home on the West Coast. Shony’s musical career of over 30 years includes live performance, radio, TV, studio work, composition, songwriting and album production. Away from the spotlight and stage glamour, Shony remains the delicate, deep and emotional songwriter he was since he first picked up the guitar. Shony's songwriting and delivery style are shamelessly naked, penetrating and evocative drawing heavily from his fascinating life journey. The Music |
