THE BEGINNING
Kishane was born in Brooklyn NY and raised by parents who were full of musical energy which in turn was passed down to him. The vibe in the family home was always centered on entertainment. At a very young age, Kishane was exposed to various genre's of music and theatre. Soon he began performing in musicals such as “The Pirates of Penzance” and “Oliver”, often times securing lead roles. When he was 14 he wrote and produced his first dance single "We Gonna Get Funky".
THE NEXT PHASE
Eventually, Kishane left Brooklyn at age 17 and went to Howard University. Immediately he was drawn into the enormous musical and acting culture. He soon began working with local Hip-Hop producers, and doing shows at local clubs like the Ritz Night Club. In 1993, he received the great opportunity to open for the likes of Mary J. Blige, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Teddy Riley, and SHAI at Howard University’s Homecoming. In his last year at Howard University, Kishane while also pursuing his acting career, was awarded the opportunity to star in the hit NBC TV show Homicide - Life On the Streets as a drug lieutenant. In 2004 Kishane put his musical skills to the test and released his debut album entitled “The Beginning” (www.cdbaby.com/shanemusic).

Kishane’s new album, “Another Level” is electronica done right. The CD is comprised of 7 tracks, each with a new and seductive marriage of soul, funk, and electronic elements. The opening song “Sweat” starts strong with an enticing house pulse that is immediately engaging. Although the four-on-the-floor rhythm makes a mark on the album, songs like “Way Out” establish Kishane’s chill tone that lends a tasteful balance to the mix. The influences here are broad, yet the result is a seamless and smooth blend of both moods and flavor. For fans of funk, hip-hop, and R&B, this solid electronica album will deliver and delight.
