Biography
From Light to Dark
Shannow is a visually impaired, autistic songwriter and music producer whose name stems from the main character in a heroic fantasy trilogy written by the late David Gemmell. He has lived in Nottingham, UK for the past 30 plus years, although you wouldn't think so listening to a few of his songs, as there is a slight Southern burr to his voice. That's because he is, and always will be a wurzel hailing from Somerset.
He wasn't always visually impaired and his sighted career for years was in electrical engineering and street lighting. However, the Gods of Irony conspired to take that away from him and so with fading sight, he turned to his love of music and learned how to capture his songs in the wonderful world of digital.
Shannow's style normally reflects a story, is invariably dark and always uses gritty guitars. Apart from that, anything goes as he doesn't use labels unless society demands it.
As you can tell by the picture, Shannow has a penchant for Steampunk and the Victorian era but what can you expect...
He's weird.
