He continued to emerge as SHAD, creating his own label, soon produced and release world beat compilation cd titled Fantum that introduced a new musical mix of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Spanish and American sounds, lyrics and rhythms. This trailblazing work opened many additional doors as collaborations on projects with noted artists such as Bobby Brown, Paula Abdul, baby Fac and other become as norm. This invaluable experience not only honed his skills and craft but confirmed to him, without doubt to stay true to his course. Drawing strength for his inspiration SHAD conceived a new CD project Mera, Titled Feel like it, which became the first release on his newly formed label -Time Zone Records - This verisable and voluptuous singer, singing English, Spanish, French, Arabis and farsi, quickly captured and top 20 charts of the international community both in US and overseas as mera got picked up by EMI France and Polygram in the US.
