Shawn Desman

The self-titled breakthrough album featured three top ten singles ("Shook", "Spread My Wings" and "Get Ready") on the Canadian charts.

[1] The single, "Spread My Wings", is a cover of the unreleased group Vega, featuring Chilli of TLC.

After the show, Drake approached him in the hallway outside of the green room, praising him for his performance and had encouraged him to continue making music.

In 2015, Desman's wife became ill, so he made the difficult decision to step away from his music career to focus on his family.

[9] He credits his appearance at Drake's 2022 OVO Fest concert celebrating a legacy of Canadian hip-hop and R&B musicians as one reason why he returned to making solo music.
