Shaun !
Shaun Taper 
Like most soul singers, Shaun began singing in his father’s church in Chicago, Il when he was 5. He moved to California in 1995, where he won numerous talent shows during high school. After graduation in New York in 1999, he returned to Orange County to become a “Ghetto Superstar” (a big fish who is content with their small pond surroundings.) After winning countless Karaoke contests, he felt he achieved that goal. He was first introduced to the dueling piano scene when he started working at the old Rockin' Taco in Fullerton, CA. The reppoire he built with the staff of entertainers made him a welcomed addition at PianoPiano. He loves his job and the fact that he gets to work with some of the best dueling piano players in the country. When he learns to play piano, like he was told many times, he hopes to be in that category as well! |
