Shahn Christian Andersen was born in the frozen tundra of Syracuse, New York. During his formative years he lived in Utah (Elsinore), Florida (Miami), Oklahoma (Edmond), Tennessee (Nashville), Pennsylvania (Philly), New Jersey (Hackensack), and Staten Island (Ganas) before settling in Brooklyn, New York. Regardless of what age he was when got there, Shahn has always claimed that he "grew up" in Brooklyn.He began acting and writing music in high school, did community theatre and experimental music in college, and then ended up in some of the most god-awful off-off-off-Broadway theatre New York City has ever offered. A switched-gender version of Gilbert & Sullivan's "Iolanthe" was a lowlight of this era of his acting development. He played in an electronic rock band named Nymph (New York Miles Per Hour) that signed to an indie label and had one of their songs become a minor hit in Belgium and Israel. He played in the Williamsburg-post rock band The Dust Up and produced the best queer anti-folk band to not find a wider following: Testosterone Kills.Eventually, Shahn clawed his way up to doing featured parts on TV and in indie movies, and writing and producing his first solo music album. He was an extra in "The Normal Heart" on HBO where he managed to always be just off camera in each scene. He also fulfilled a lifelong dream by acting on a telenovela for Mexican TV named "La Gata". He claims to be an international underwear model because 20 million people saw him in his boxers on the front page of Yahoo!.When Shahn isn't doing acting or music, he works as an architectural designer and construction consultant, wrecks his body playing football in Brooklyn, does body modification experiments on himself, and tries to protect the world from the devastation of "The Chaos Sisters".
