Self taught dancer Shane Garcia was nationally recognized on “So You Think You Can Dance”, season 10, where he gained extensive experience in the industry and gained a lot of opportunities working in the field. He then went on to continue his journey through performing and choreographing for many music talents. Shane also, has always had a passion for music. He studied in classical piano since the age of 14 before branching out on his own and inevitably found his passion in producing music at the age of 16, which is his path today. Creating his own art by fusing dance and piano, he has also developed a way to play the piano and dance at the same time. These days, his music production style, which sets him apart, is found from the history and experience of being a dancer.
