In 2020 Shane Codd was at college in Dublin hating what he was studying but loving producing music and the idea of DJing across the world. Inspired by 90s trance he started adding cut-up catchy vocals to his more house-based sound, uploading tracks and getting positive feedback from Instagram and Facebook. A good vocal and some hooky music certainly made a difference, as he discovered when he uploaded the track Get Out My Head to Soundcloud, Spotify and Youtube. The track started to gain momentum in Ireland and the UK and major labels started calling Codd. The track went stratospheric, reaching 20 million streams on Spotify within weeks and hitting the top 10 in Ireland and the UK before charting across the world. Since then Codd has become an in demand remixer, continuing his knack for great vocal productions with the likes of Ann Marie and Becky Hill. From a track Codd produced in his bedroom, he is now working with some of the best producers and songwriters… and even in some proper studios. He’s also the second ‘15 Questions With…’ star in as many months to have kick-started his career with FL Studio. Who needs Pro Tools?
