Shawn Michael Perry has taken multi-hyphenate to new heights. This singer, songwriter, actor, educator and activist was born in Southern California into indigenous heritage (his father is a 

Native American of Salish ancestry; his mother, Panamanian of Mayan ancestry), Shawn has embraced his culture, past and present with an eye to the future. 

The strength of his music and beauty of his words was enhanced by producer John Avila, the talented bassist/producer of Oingo Boingo.

Final polishing was added by the skillful mastering techniques of Ron McMaster (Capitol Records). 

Due to their popularity, these songs are featured on the new full-length CD, SHAWN MICHAEL PERRY & ONLY THE BRAVE. Together with his band, Only the Brave, Shawn is on the road, spreading his message. 

With the continued sucess of 'Forever', Shawn Michael Perry has released an exclusive music video to accompany the track. Produced and directed by Shawn, this video is beautifully crafted, showing the trials and tribulations of both love for close ones and also, his indigenous heritage through powerful images.

With the video having been out a month, interest is gaining from both fans and the music industries alike.

'Forever' is currently being submitted to MTV U.K, who have expressed an interest, as well as 'The Sundance Film Festival' who asked Shawn to perform and show this video, which is a great accomplishment. Great American Country Television have also expressed an interest for airing the video. 

The 'Forever' music video has been uploaded to various websites, including all of Shawn Michael Perry's myspace sites, Youtube (www.youtube.com, Native Youtube and many more, where it is receiving excellent responses from fans such as:

Exceptional voice

Unique and original musically, the vocals are strong and clear. Shawn has a great vocal range and he uses it beautifully. The more I listen to this cd the more I appreciate it. The only suggestion I have is that I would like to see the artists incorporate more of their cultural language(s)into their songs. English and Spanish are not indigenious to this hemisphere although most people don't even realize this, or chose not to. We have lost so many of our languages and if we write them into our lyrics it will keep them alive, and educate those who listen. I look forward to Shawns future work.
This music has something I fell in love with instantly.

I haven't even heard all the songs yet and I'm head over heels in love with this music. You can hear these guys mean what they're playing/singing, something that is rarely found in the popular music of today. The lyrics actually mean something which makes the music so much more interesting. Great vocal range and amazing talent
