Having only picked up a guitar for the first time in 2004 at age 16, Melbourne born Shaun Kirk has achieved a great deal in such a short time. Discovering a gift for story telling and an undeniable connection with the guitar, Shaun won the 2006 Basin Music Festival Youth Songwriting Competition. 2008 saw the release of his first independent EP, ‘Seagulls’ and in January 2010 Shaun launched his award winning debut album, ‘Cruisin’; to a capacity crowd at Melbourne’s Ruby’s Lounge closely followed by his first national tour.
