[5] Soon his father was offered a full-time position to race for His Highness the Emir Sheik Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa and the family moved to the island of Bahrain where Shaun and his brother grew up living in the Awali compound.
[8] In his teens he met his first bandmates and started spending most of his time in Asker, making progressive rock in a basement and playing concerts at the local club and annual festival.
[10] Between the band breaking up in 1999 and their soundtrack reunion he'd started writing material that would later be released on the solo debut album Sometimes Divided in 2006 – recorded at Larsville Studio in Stugudalen, owned by Lars Gunnar Lien: former member of Norwegian rockers Motorspycho.
[11] The album was recorded together with his backing band at the time and engineered by Pål Brekkås (Marthe Valle, The South [no], Ida Jenshus ++).
The third album's title song Green Means Walk Red Means Run, inspired by Dr Masaru Emoto's way of seeing everydayness from such a different angle, was listed on P4 Radio Hele Norge in 2015 and the album itself was recorded at Ocean Sound Recordings located on the shore of Giske, a beautiful island just outside Ålesund on Norway's west coast – known for its outstanding nature with mountain peaks and weather contrasts, not to mention the island's annual music festival Sommerfesten på Giske, where Shaun played live in 2015.
