Answer:

“In the midst of chaos lies great opportunity,” as noted by Albert Einstein; and proven by The Shameless Band. In 2019, the band, then known as “Shades” to represent their diversity, led the first music program established at a non-profit health plan. They made such an impression that the CEO and President of the Yamaha Music and Wellness Institute approached the band for collaboration and partnership to spread music programs in the business sector for wellness and engagement. The band’s passion for extending life, love, and positivity through music was well on its way until 2020, when COVID chaos happened. And the world shut down.

The band went separate ways while three band members, Kory Body, Danny Castro and Michael Lopez found brotherhood, collective courage, and a shared passion for keeping their dreams alive. Thus, The Shameless Band. They refused to conform to the expectation of being canceled due to the pandemic. Instead, with no regrets, they wrote “Cancel Me,” their first official release from their debut album, “Less is More.”
