I found rock & roll and the guitar at an early age. Early
influences came from 80s Metal, Classic Rock and Punk. I have
been playing in bands since high school, and eventually received
a bachelors in music, but never gave up rock & roll.

I come from Moline, Illinois my name is John Allen; I Play Bass.
I’m the guy in the background just supplying the emotion.
The movement of the song at its core. I come from a home broken
by divorce. Music is what I had when other answers weren’t
there. I worked through the divorce of my parents by playing the
Bass. It creates a sound that you hear and feel. Of course, I’m
older now, the relationship with both of my parents has stablized,
and I feel things are looking good for my life.
I’m a carpenter by trade, and a Bass player at heart. A long
time friend, introduced me to SixthDay. They needed a Bass player,
and they got one. Being with SixthDay has been a wonderful experience
... and we kick ass. My ideas are taken seriously here. I feel I
can open up and express what is really important to me. We’re
all good friends, and that is why we kick so much ass! |

Out of the center of San Diego, Shaun dove into playing music straight
out of high school in 1999. His love for playing guitar stemmed
around the original 80's hard rock and heavy metal genre. After
five years of practice, Shaun was introduced to the Power Metal
and Symphonic metal games turning his skills towards more epic sounds
of rhythm and solos. 8 years into the field, Shaun was then found
by Sixth Day members, Rocco, Shane and John in 2006. Shaun is also
an established Keyboard and Acoustic player. |
