Career
Early career
Shin began his career as a singer-songwriter in 2004, with releasing the first album "Soar". The title song "Robot" was composed by the famous K-pop ballad composer "Hyung-seok Kim" and the lyrics was written by the famous Korean poet, 'Tae-yeon Won'.[2] At age 20, he moved to Boston, Massachusetts to attend Berklee College of Music to achieve his goal that he had since 5th grade; charting his song on the Billboard.[3] In his interview with Korean digital music library website/application MelOn in 2012, he mentioned that moving to United States to develop his musical ability was the best decision he has ever made.[4]
A-Rex Production
Teamed up with songwriter Sean Hamilton, Shin started the music production duo "A-Rex". They have worked together for 4 years until they made Justin Bieber's "One Less Lonely Girl" debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, on the issue dated October 24, 2009. The song had 113,000 downloads in its first week and later scored the second highest debut of the week, only being surpassed by "3" by Britney Spears.[5] As of February 2011, the single has sold over 1,025,000 digital copies in the United States.[6] In his MelOn interview, he said those 4 years of waiting to achieve the goal, were the hardest time in his life.[7] A-Rex also produced "Right Here Waiting" by Tynisha Keli and "Supa Luv" by Korean male idol group, Teen Top and the song later remixed and featured on the American movie "Beastly" by the director Daniel Barnz, stars Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer.
