Eugene Connelly better known by his stage name “Shane-O” grew up in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. From the tender of 10, Shane-O started to enhance his passion for music by becoming heavily involved in his church music ministry.
Shane-O knew one day he wanted to be recognized as a musical genius so he made up in his mind he would stop at nothing to get there, or has he would say, “By any means necessary.” Well acquainted with hard work, coupled with his tenacity and drive it wasn’t long before Shane-O starting writing and performing his own material.
Since the year 2008 until present Shane-O has released a total of five mix tapes entitled: G-Code I, II, and III, The Best of Shane-O, and Laughin At Em’ which is set to release this Friday, March 30, 2012. Laughin At Em’ which is the hit single, featuring Gillie da Kid and Bump Jay spread throughout the Tristate area so quickly that it received over 17,000 views the first week on YouTube. The trio immediately shot the video, which caught Philly’s, own number 1 DJ Cosmic Kev' s attention after seeing it on Worldstarhiphop. A very impressed and inspired Cosmic Kev then contacted Gillie to interview and feature Shane-O on the WUSL Power 99 Come Up Show.
Inspired by media mogul Russell Simmons, Shane-O is a firm believer that “You may not always be the most talented, or even the most attractive, but NEVER let anyone out work you…” Remaining true to his beliefs, Shane-O continues to hustle hard and grind daily. He says, “If I’m not on stage performing, I’m in studio preparing for it…”
Shane-O's hard work has already and certainly will continue to pay off.
