About

Shay Mann is the alias of Shayan Mannan, a producer and composer residing in Toronto, Canada.Formerly known as 'Disease' & 'DiseaseMusic', Shay grew up in a musical family with a cultural background in South Asian instrumentation. Shay took a shining to learning a variety of new instruments from a young age. He started on the Harmonium, Tabla and acoustic drums. While he gravitated towards percussive instruments, it wasn’t until he discovered the synthesizer that the songwriting pieces began to fit. It opened the floodgates into exploring new sonic territory, and combined with his already established repertoire of musical knowledge, his vision began to manifest as reality. Fast forward to today and the project 'Shay Mann' now sees him combine idiosyncrasies of Electronica, Finger Drumming, Ambient and Downtempo to create his brand of eclectic music.His music echoes influences from a broad spectrum of producers ranging all the way from rap pioneer Dr. Dre, to cinematic prodigy Hans Zimmer. It is no surprise that his music also reflects the raw attitude of Hip Hop, juxtaposed against lush, cinematic tendencies and emotive soundscapes. What started off as just beat boxing and finger drumming in high school to lay down the beats while friends rapped over it, grew to a full-scale musical project. Shay Mann sets off on his mission to take people on an expedition of sound. He invites you to join him on that journey.
