About
Shaun Jansen is a Singaporean singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music lives in the space between raw energy and quiet honesty. Over two decades of performing, writing, and recording, he has built a sound defined by smooth, emotive vocals and guitar-playing so instinctive it feels like an extension of himself — its own voice entwined with his. It's the instrument he first picked up from his father, and it has stayed at the centre of his life ever since.
Growing up through the 90s and early 2000s, Shaun absorbed the songwriting and pop-rock sensibilities that still run through his work. On stage he moves between two modes: the charismatic frontman of Supernova, the band he leads as vocalist and guitarist and with whom he represented Singapore at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games, and the solo acoustic artist who can hold a room with nothing more than a guitar and a voice. He has brought that presence to stages large and small across Singapore, including the National Day Parade.
His most recent release — the 2023 double single "Ethereal" and "Illuminate" — marks an evolution in that sound, trading the rawness of a live room for something more atmospheric and produced, while keeping the emotional directness at the core of everything he writes.
Shaun continues to write and record original material, balancing full-band energy with the closeness of his solo work. Across both, the through-line never changes: his music turns guitar and voice into a conversation worth staying for.
