My artist name is Shambien and I am from Italy (altough I lived abroad in the Netherlands and in the USA for several years and then came back).
I have been making music since I studied classical piano as a kid and then taught myself to play guitar. In my teen years I have played in metal, punk and darkwave bands... until I discovered electronic music, I started attending raves in the 90's and then Goa trance parties and I was hooked and started making electronic music and beats on a computer.
I paused my passion for music (but never really abandoned it) for over 25 years as I was working a regular job in IT and raising a family and kids.
As the 'kids' are now much older (two of three are adults) I started making music again. I produce mostly EDM ranging from Melodic Techno to Ambient to Trance - in fact I find it hard to categorize and I am developing my own style. I also started DJing in my fourties.
Most of my tracks are the results of playing around, depending on my mood at the time, following the flow of inspiration and often recorded in one take without preparing everything in a DAW (having worked in IT for almost 30 years and being fed up with it, sitting at a computer turns me in too much of a mental state and stiffens my creativity).
While I do expect to get paid to perform a live or DJ set gig, I put most of my production and recordings out for free for people to vibe with. You can even download most of my tracks for free from Bandcamp.
These are the Albums, EPs and Singles that I published thru the official distribution channels. They are available on the most common streaming platforms. There is also a lot more of my (unreleased) music on social media, especially YouTube and Instagram (links in footer).
