"Man who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the man doing it."
- ancient Chinese proverb

Shane Almgren has been called a "creative Swiss army knife." He is an award-winning graphic designer, professional pianist & keyboardist, award-winning composer, ASCAP songwriter, music producer, dj, writer for Dish Magazine, film & television actor, voice over artist, fashion designer, and entertainer in Nashville, TN.

 

He "accidentally" founded his company, Shane Almgren MultiMedia & Entertainment in 2011 after he was challenged to create a business card that listed all his professional services and experience, with the daunting caveat that it be both aesthetically pleasing and actually legible. It was tricky. Fast forward several years, and he is proud to serve over 500 clients on 4 continents.

 

These days, he focuses his creative efforts on business branding and marketing; running his own business while serving as a creative consultant to an assortment of startups and established companies alike. 

 

Shane got started in theater at an early age, and has appeared in several feature films, television shows, commercials and music videos. He was one of the original members of the critically-acclaimed sketch comedy/theater production, Bye Bye Liver: The Nashville Drinking Play, which enjoyed a 3-year run. 

 

In 2015 he created the YSO Serious? fashion line because it was cold out and he was kinda bored.

But above all, music remains his first passion. He got started on the piano at the age of 4, and has toured both nationally and internationally with various artists and bands ranging from pop to country to hard rock to hip-hop. He plays with recording artist Alexander King, as well as with his 80's cover band, Max Headroom; and UP! A Shania Twain Tribute. He also writes and produces trance music under the artist name krystl bLu.
