Shane Dean is a native of “Money Earnin” Mount Vernon, New York. The star-studded city produced such names as Denzel Washington, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, Ben Gordon, Dick Clark, Art Carney and Heavy D. Throughout his career in the entertainment industry, Dean has put together an arsenal of creative tools as an actor, producer, writer, director, and MC. Dubbed a “Renaissance” artist for all of the hats that he wears creates a unique package. The industry has shown the dynamic parallel that lies within film and music. Any rapper that has had any real music success has been catapulted into film because of their marketability whether they know how to act or not. Shane Dean defines that success on both ends of the film and music industry. His current film, 2012 release, The Saints of Mt. Christopher, which he directs, produces and co-stars in with Tom Sizemore (BLACK HAWK DOWN) and Clifton Powell (RAY) has grossed over 200 thousand sales and rentals becoming one of the Top 5 independent movies this year. He has a very imaginative and successful management team that understands how to brand an artist such as a Shane Dean with his own merchandising in an Ice’d Out Jump Rope for his new hot single featuring Trina, a water deal with a striving health franchise entitled Evolv and a humanitarian campaign entitled The Stop The Violence, Save Our Future Project combatting gun violence in America. With a diverse brand of flows on the mic and various faces in soon to be announced upcoming pictures, Dean is promised to be one of Hollywood’s rising stars. He is currently working on his LP, 6 DEGREEZ that features Trina, Elephant Man, E-40, Cold Hard of Crucial Conflict and Jon B thus far. His new hot single, Ice’d Out Jump Ropes Remix is catching fire around the world. http://www.shanedean.com
