When Shaquille received a message on Instagram asking if he would be interested in writing songs for popular K-pop groups he thought it was an elaborate joke. Still only 25, music has always been his passion - revealed by the countless videos he shares of himself writing, producing and performing his own original music.
Success has been hard to come by for Shaquille however, who is well known in the Manchester music scene. Until he got a break in Asia, the furthest he had got was an appearance on Britain's Got Talent as part of a duo with his older brother.
