Shinehead

ShineHead’s Bio Carl Aiken a.k.a. "Shinehead"/ "2Face", began his artistic career circa in 1980, via the dancehall sound systems of New York, e.g.,<em> "Downbeat", "African Love", "Specialist Roots", "Papa Moke", "Sir Tommy’s", "Star Wars", "Sons Junior Sebastian"</em>, etc..where he paid dues until March of 1988 when he was signed to Elektra Records. Already coming to the majors with a name for himself, not to mention tremendous talent, charisma and statesmanship, he stayed with Elektra until January 1995. In conversing with <strong>Shinehead</strong> and watching his concert, you get the idea of an articulate, yet "<strong><em>Rough-n-Rugged</em></strong>", real-live, charming ragamuffin Peter Pan. </p>
<p><strong>Shinehead's</strong> songs and live performances are generously seasoned with high energy, humor, plain old common sense, harsh reality, socio-economic commentary, matters of the heart, positive coaching in self esteem, especially for children & adolescents, tastefully done covers, craftily done twists of familiar tunes and yes his own brilliant originals. Musically, Shinehead’s "boot camp training", as he likes to call it, stems from a solid dual foundation of Reggae and B’Boyin’, the latter of which is now known as "Hip Hop". Shinehead also raps and sings rather well, along with his fame as a DJ (chanter/toaster). His music keeps improving with his only downfall being that he is always ahead of his time; stands to reason why he penned Musical Madness.
