Los Angeles, California-based Shawn Barry, delivered Endangered Spirits Vol. 1 to the public in 2021 as an electronic project from the heart that shed light on animals on the brink of extinction as an offering from his soul to the world.
With little expectations, given the global chaos of the pandemic and dark dance floors globally for electronic music at the time of release, Endangered Spirits went beyond expectations by nearing a million listens on Spotify alone. The label insisted at that time that it was tagged Vol. 1 because the vision was always to encourage Barry to continue this journey.
Endangered Spirits Volume 2 starts to arrive on April 26, 2024, with the first single of the collection ‘Shark Mission’, featuring world-renowned shark expert and advocate Paul DeGelder, adding his ominous voice on a UK-styled Liquid/Electronic track.
In 2009, as an Australian Navy diver, DeGelder was attacked by a shark whilst training at Garden Island in Sydney Harbour, Paul lost an arm and a leg in the attack.
Drawing on everything his eventful life had taught him, Paul left nothing to chance in his recovery. He fought through excruciating pain, smashing challenge after challenge, all the while amazing the medical staff and the Australian public with his will to succeed. His inspiring story, as detailed in his autobiography “Uncaged”, takes the saying “never say die” to a whole new level.
Paul and Shawn met at Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles. By complete coincidence Barry was demoing up the entire new album at that time and discussed the project with DeGelder who listened to Volume 1 and was inspired to collaborate at Shawn’s studio, tucked away in Topanga Canyon, with a mission to save the world’s most dangerous predator and the ominous vocal delivery on the track delivers with the message with authority.
Management says that plans are in the making for Shawn Barry, who also sings and plays many different instruments while DJ'ing for his Endangered Spirits Tour, includes spectacular visuals linked to all of the albums, making for an immersive experience and enlightenment on these beautiful animals on the brink of extinction. Meanwhile, Shawn continues to co-write and play limited dates with the likes of LP, Megan Meyers, and Earth Harp Collective.
Shawn Barry is available on all streaming platforms.
