One of the first break thru songs Shep and Kenny produced was the pop radio production of the Lee Ann Womack smash "I Hope you Dance". They then went on to write/produce for many pop and rock artists i.e.: Mandy Moore, LFO, Hall & Oates, Ingrid Michaelson, and many others.

Shep previously held the position of Vice President of A&R at Universal Motown Records from 2007 - 2011. He is currently co-owner of Dirty Canvas Productions which is a full scale music production company focused on artist development. The first artist signed to Dirty Canvas was Brooklyn based alt rock band American Authors whose song "Best Day Of My Life" (co-written and produced by Shep) went on to be one of the biggest global hits of 2014 achieving multi-platinum status in multiple countries. Dirty Canvas's next signings were NJ alt rock bands Young Rising Sons who are signed to "Dirty Canvas/Interscope records" and The Karma Killers who are signed to "Dirty Canvas/Island Records".
