Already accomplished in his work as President/CEO of Brave New World (BNW), as an artist Shyan Selah has created a style of music that is both unique and commercial. Raised on the greatest icons in music from The Beatles to James Brown, he's poised to take his special sound of Hip Hop, rock and soul music mainstream with a brand new band, The Republic of Sound, and new album to be released world-wide in 2013.
A versatile artist, Selah's freshman album, also aptly named Brave New World, included highlights such as the club-bangin' hip hop single "Concrete City," which was featured on the One Love: Tru Ballin' 2 DVD along exclusive footage of major NBA and NFL sports stars; and the electric guitar laced "Hollywood Blvd," which went #1 on nationwide college radio and was featured on the CBS/Paramount drama, NUMB3RS. The full Brave New World album was licensed by television networks such as MTV and VH1.
A mix of hip hop, rock, R&B and soul, Brave New World was a new combination of sound for a new type of artist: one who can both rap and sing, one who's both an entrepreneur and an activist - a musician raised in the tradition of Hollywood with a progressive edge. In both business and music Selah is a perfectionist and it is exemplified in the quality sound of Brave New World, which was recorded at the prestigious House of Blues Studios and touched by the most experienced hands of Master Mix Engineer Booker T. Jones III (Boyz II Men, Mary J. Bilge, Destiny's Child) and Eddy Schreyer of Oasis Mastering (Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Will Smith, Akon).
