Remy Shand (born, 1978 In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada)Was born to Jeremy Shand and Ana Olsson. His father was of English descent and his mother was of Swedish descent. Since the age of 12, Remy Shand had learned to play the guitar and acoustic bass. At a young age while most people his age during the 1980s and 1990s were influenced by early hip hop and pop music, his father was into soul. Shand says that instead his father influenced and exposed Shand into R&B/soul such as Steely Dan, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Herbie Hancock, Isley Brothers and Stevie Wonder.
During his home schooling in Winnipeg he had barged and searched for his parent’s R&B, blues and soul albums, spending a lot of time in his basement sampling old retro music. Shand’s funk sense of music typically made him an outcast from outsiders who did not share his passion. The soul styling music of Remy Shand is considered and labeled by some as neo soul. His parents had encouraged him to earn his GED, and to work on his music just as a project.
The Way I Feel
By the age of 19 Remy Shand managed to send a demo tape to Steve Warden who became his manager and helped to find Shand a prominent record deal. Three months after Shand had a chance to be signed a recording deal he was offered two different labels for development but turned down the offer, fortunately Universal Music Canada had signed Shand to a record deal with Motown Records in the United States. Recording and mixing on Shand’s debut album, The Way I Feel, began during the spring of 2001 at his home in Winnipeg. The album featured songs such as “The Colour of the Day” and “I Met Your Mercy”, are a few examples of his particular genre.

@six6to8eight That bit was edited out about 4 days after it was posted back in August. Googling the festival led me to this: http://stillepost.ca/boards/index.php?topic=139220.0 -- which says it was canceled (it looks fake, honestly).

FROM WIKIPEDIA: In 2010, Remy Shand signed on to perform at the annual Tom Lahey Festival (or Laheyfest) in Toronto, Canada. Shand confimed that the show was to be a comeback of sorts, telling the Toronto Sun: "I've got a wicked new groove that I've been ready and willing to bust out for some time." -- does anyone know anything about this??

After some 8 years still my most listened to CD ever. Original CD and 6 copies of it have been completely worn out over the years. Lost original back-up since last burn so went to Itunes to get it again and I would have paid $100 for this album. We need you back man!

it's rumored that he's on hiding because he got himself into some trouble with the wrong kind of people. Such a shame because this album is beyond awesome.
