Shaun started his career in 1973 when he was the lead singer in the hard rock band "Longfellow", and was also in musicals such as "The Sound Of Music", "High Button Shoes" and "Oliver". In 1975, he toured with his mother, Shirley Jones, in a stock production of "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever" and he received very complimentary reviews for his singing and acting ability.

In June 1976, he starred in his first film "Born of Water", and also sang the theme song "Comin' Home Again" for "Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway", a television movie which aired in the fall of 1976.

His next album "Born Late" sold over a million copies, and the producers of The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries featured Shaun's singing on several episodes, notably "The Flying Courier", "The Mystery of Dracula's Castle", "Wipe Out", and "Oh Say Can You Sing".

Shaun's musical catalog has been re-released in both downloadable & CD formats, and is available both through iTunes and Amazon. Shaun moved on from acting and music into TV production, and is currently a successful writer, producer, and director of TV shows such as "American Gothic", "Invasion", and "Ruby & The Rockits".
