But you really hit at the nail on the head with the song. It’s not a part-time job.īut I’ve always designed and worked on some of the album artwork and designed merchant, that sort of thing. And when One Bad Son was really starting, you have to throw everything at that. And when I discovered music and really kind of discovered my voice and my love for music that took center stage. Like a lot of artists, I was always the kid doodling in class and all those things. Realizing your dreams and like your comic book drawing, you’ve been drawing ever since you’re a kid, haven’t you? It seems to basically tell the story of what’s going on right now. The song, it seems kind of autobiographical to me. So I just figured why push it? Why stress out trying to get and record more? And just get the one out while I’ve got it, and do more as they come. And even now, you just want to be safe about everything. Also the logistics of recording, especially when lockdowns were on and heavy. All of those things combined just shelve that idea of going to record. So that, and I landed this gig drawing comic books, which is also another passion and dream of mine. So not having two years of that really puts a dent in your plans for funding these things. My main source of income is from touring. Is part of that because of COVID-19 because you can’t really tour that much and promote it? You said you were thinking about putting out an EP, but you’re just putting out the single right now. So I figured just put it out, see how it goes and then just roll with it and kind of figure the rest out on the fly. So I just figured it’s a good time to just put it out, I think people need new music right now as well. And I’m like, “You can’t plan anyway so just put it out. I think I was stuck in the head space of having a larger plan. So I’ve been sitting on this song and not sure what to do with it, and finally just decided, in a world where you can’t plan anything, just put it out. Of course, like everybody else, COVID-19 changed all of those plans. While OBS wasn’t on the road, I was going to release these and do a little thing and stay busy. My plans were to record an EP and have it ready for 2020. So I’ve kind of accumulated a lot of ideas over the years. When you’re trimming an album down from 30 songs to 10 or 12, you end up having a lot leftover. The long story is that I’ve accumulated a lot of songs just writing for One Bad Son, that just didn’t work for the band. What made you decide to release a solo song at this time? We talked to Shane about the new single, his art, and what’s next for One Bad Son. It’s a fitting story for the talented artist’s first solo endeavour as well as his foray into the graphic art world. It tells the tale of a man who’s lost in life’s rituals but can’t shake the idea that there’s something else he should be doing. “Shiver” is the first official solo release for Shane and it comes with a 20 page comic book that showcases the musician’s other talent, comic book illustrator. This week the singer, who recently married luxury home realtor Dalton Gomez at her Montecito home, found out that she is a nominee for a number of awards at the upcoming 2022 Grammys (which airs on January 31, 2022), including one for ‘Best Pop Solo Performance’.Īs well as boasting an impressive singing career, Grande is also making waves as an actor as she stars in the upcoming musical Wicked as the socialite and good witch Glinda.As lead singer and song writer for Canadian rock band One Bad Son, Saskatoon native Shane Connery Volk is known for gritty, soaring vocals on songs like “Scarecrows” and “Raging Bull” and nods to classic Westerns with the songs “True Grit and “The Outlaw Josey Wales”. Of course, we'd expect nothing less from the 28-year-old ' thank u, next' singer who, after enjoying early success in Nickelodeon show Victorious, rose to fame with her first 2013 album Yours Truly, which debuted at number one in the Billboard albums charts. It’s safe to say Grande did Dion’s song justice. Other striking performances included Grande's take on Whitney Houston’s 1985 track 'How Will I Know', which won a VMA under the ‘Best Female Video’ category a year after its release, and a take on Celine Dion’s power ballad 'It’s All Coming Back To Me Now'. Grande followed her performance up with the hit 'Believe' from Oscar-winning actor and singer Cher, in true Cher-like form.
