Shaun began drumming at the age of 8, attending lessons in Glenamaddy with the East Galway School of Music. He studied there under the guidance of Cormac Dunne, a well known Galway drummer who has played with many bands, most notably The Stunning. 

Following in the footsteps of his Grandfather who was a gigging drummer, Shaun joined his first band at the age of 11 and has been part numerous bands since then. He has performed around Ireland and the UK and is currently playing with the functions band Trippin' Over Strings.

Over the years, he has taught hundreds of students through one-to-one lessons and group lessons.
