Who is Shawshank The Ghost Producer

 Shawshank the Ghost Producer was born in Paterson, NJ and transplanted to Yanceyville, NC at the age of 15.   He has worked with a wide range of instruments including the bass guitar, keyboard and drums, but according to him, “can work with anything that makes a sound”.  As a youngster, Shawshank was influenced by his father, who was in a gospel quartet called, “The Gospel Tops”, and was encouraged to take piano and guitar lessons by his mother, due to his high level of creativity.  He played the bass guitar for his church and experimented with the other instruments  after services.  About 1 year after moving to North Carolina, Shawshank was asked to play bass for another small church and was discovered and began to traveling with a gospel group called Queen Willis and The Gospel Allstars.  While working with this group in his late teenage years, he continued to have a fascination with the current hip-hop realm and started to host parties in order to get into the local scene.  By hosting these events, he met several of his current team members who were talented and interested in making it big in entertainment.  After buying several tracks for the team, he showed an interest in creating his own sound for his artists; Shawshank the Ghost Producer was born.  He became the CEO and co-founder of CreamDreamz Records and worked with his group in order to create their first album entitled The First One, a success in the local hip-hop circuit.  Since then, Shawshank has produced tracks which featured artist like Jive Recording Artist M.O.S ,  AOG’s Ricky Ruckus and R&B crooner Young Fletcher. Shawshank has also  produced scores for documentaries and short films such as the NC Governor’s 2008 Convention DVD  , “ Hey Mister, Got a Light ? ”  by Stone Soup DMI, and Dirty South Live a popular urban magazine by MADINA BROTHERS and LMG. His current projects include composing tracks for the gospel rap virtuoso “Witness” (formerly known as NyShaun the Trendsetta), Lucky Nick and Mailman Markus collectively known as DanVegas, and his solo artist Young Fella.
