Shaz started his professional life as a musician playing for acts including East 17, Eternal, Touch and Go to name just a few as well as writing and recording his own material. After years of family and friends telling him he should act as he showed a strong aptitude for it, he took the plunge and auditioned for an independent movie. To his surprise he got the role! Since that moment he's continued to gain featured roles in movies and TV work as he continues to audition.
