Discography

Shankz spent his early years in the United States before moving back to Malaysia where he formally learnt music coaching & theory at Yamaha Music and undertook Carnatic vocal lessons. He began experimenting with music production tools like Fruity Loops (FL Studio), Hip-hop eJay, Cool-Edit-Pro (Adobe Audition now) and Garage band while studying in the United Kingdom in the early 2000s, where he also performed at 'Keda Records' [5] under Kuljit Bhamra and was instrumental in the 2003 Birmingham Auditions UK, before finally moving back to Malaysia.
