Born in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, England, he grew up and went to school in Ireland where he performed in the country’s many regional theatres. His first break came at the age of 21 when he won a role in the touring production of Les Miserables in Dublin, and then traveled with the company to Edinburgh, Scotland.
Shannon's accolades include a nomination for Best Actor at the Olivier’s (the British version of the Tony Awards) for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s "The Beautiful Game." Recently, he released a second solo album, "Abhaile," which showcases some of his favorite Irish songs.
