A singer/songwriter from Dublin Ireland, Shane released his debut album as a solo artist entitled "1107" in 2009

Back In 2007, the British song writing Academy recognized Butler's track "Headlong" as one of the year's top songs, an accolade which recognizes a songwriter in the early years of his or her career that is already making an impact.

After nearly 20 years of writing for his own various projects (European releases with 'Joe Public' and the debut solo album '1107') Shane has started to write songs aimed at other artists as well .. In 2012 one of shanes songs 'Invisible' won a tv show called 'The Hit' where songwriters battle for the chance to have thier song released by a well known recording artist, the song was chosen and released by Brian McFadden across Europe .. Shane says ''Writing and collaberating with other writers is an incredible and musically rewarding experience''

2014 will see Shane recording his second album in Denmark and starting a series of gigs there
