Shane Grenert is a country singer/singer songwriter born, raised, and based out of Fairfield,California. When talking with Shane about his younger years and how he first got started playingmusic, he said, " I first started playing music when I was 10 in my elementary school's concertband playing percussion, I did that from then all the way through college with some marchingband and drum line thrown in." From there, Shane went on to tell me about what drew him to it,saying, "I started it because my mom wanted me to join the school band like she did, and I chosepercussion because it didn't require breathing techniques, but ended up learning way more abouthow drums/percussion help with the backbone of music. "One thing I've noticed through talking with artists is that everyone has their own way of describing their sound". For Shane, he said, "I would describe my sound as a mix of 90s/00scountry and the Texas/Red Dirt scene, along with some songs having influence from the 80s rockscene like Def Leppard and Guns N Roses. I even consider my song "Head on Home" as if DefLeppard went country." Every artist is inspired by either someone or something. For Shane, hesaid, "I started writing music when I was 13, around the time Hunter Hayes was starting to popoff in the mainstream, and told myself I wanted to be like him, write and record everything onmy records. The guy is crazy talented, plays almost 30 instruments." I had forgotten aboutHunter until this interview, and I went down a rabbit hole of his music. I agree he's very talented,so I can see how he inspired Shane.
