Shannon is a Singaporean born, Australian raised singer, actor, and dancer currently based in New York City.
He is currently in the ensemble, understudying the role of Thuy in Cameron Mackintosh's and Opera Australia's production of Miss Saigon, starting performances at the iconic Sydney Opera House in August, Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne from November, and the Adelaide Festival Theatre from January 2024.
He is passionate about TV/Film as much as he is about theatre. He is also extremely devoted to the pursuit of diverse race representation in theatre and beyond. In fact, his masters thesis performance was about the stereotypes of Asian men in the industry and how it affects them in their personal lives.
He holds a BM in Professional Music (Performance/Pedagogy Concentrations) from Berklee College of Music, an MFA in Musical Theatre from The Boston Conservatory, and a Diploma in Dance from Village Nation.
In his free time, Shannon is a lover of the ocean and its conservation.
