Uzbekistan-born DJ and model Shawn Zod has been U captivated by music from a young age. But though music coursed through his veins and into his heart, walking the path of a musician was something he had never considered before, seeing as none of his family members were involved in music in any way. Growing up, Shawn assumed he would work in business. Little did he know that music would eventually find its way back to him to shape him into the person he is today.

As a child, Shawn was the kid in school who got along with everyone. He had no trouble socialising, which explains his bubbly and friendly personality. When asked what he was like in school, he replied with a eky smile, "I wasn't that good, but I wasn't bad either." Shawn has come a long way from when he first arrived in Malaysia, working as a part-time barista before being approached by an agent. He was offered a modelling job, having no idea that it would be the start of an amazing career.

Blessed with charming looks, a cheeky smile, fierce eyes and an incredible ability to work his angles, when it comes to striking poses Shawn is a natural. The second the photographer clicks the first shutter button, Shawn envisions entering a different dimension where the universe is only him and the camera lens as he works towards creating the perfect shot.
