Life and career
Isaac Shepard is a pianist and composer who lives in Orange County, California. He has composed and performed for over 25 years, released seven solo piano albums, written music for over a dozen games, and composed hundreds of songs across many genres. He owns Shepard Audio, a music production company for Film, TV, commercials, video games, and media projects. Shepard was chosen by Pandora Internet Radio to represent independent musicians to members of Congress and to perform in the U.S. House of Representatives. His music can be heard in games, TV/Film, online radio, and more. Shepard’s solo piano music has been heard over 70,000,000 times on Pandora.
Growing up in a musical family, Isaac Shepard began playing piano and keyboards by ear at the age of twelve and very soon thereafter joined a band called “;Dave and the Reverbs”; with his father, James. Shepard played keyboards at various soup kitchens, homeless shelters, social gatherings, church events, and random venues throughout Southern California in the early 1990’s.
Within a few years, Shepard’s family (father James, mother Debra, and brother Elijah) joined together to form a family band they named “;Four Shepards and a Lamb,”; and in 1996 they produced a self-titled CD of original contemporary Christian music. In 1998, Shepard released his first solo album, ‘On Subtle Ground,’ featuring original keyboard instrumentals. Over the years, Shepard has played piano for numerous church worship teams and has continued to collaborate with James, adding piano to the rock ‘Moment By Moment’ CD and to the Beatles/Everly Brothers love-songs tribute album called ‘From Me To You.’
In 2005, Shepard produced his first live piano album, ‘Swept Away’ a collection of relaxing compositions. Shepard released his second easy-listening solo piano album, called ‘Deep Joy’ in 2008; it reached #1 on the iTunes New Age charts. In late 2009, he released his third solo piano album, ‘The Renewing’, which made it to the #4 spot on the international radio airplay chart two months in a row. In 2010, Shepard released his fourth neo-classical piano album, ‘Awaken’.
In 2011, Shepard collaborated with ethereal vocalist Amethyste on “;Tout Est Si Beau”;, a song from her fourth new age album, ‘Deliverance’.
A year later, Shepard published ‘Knights and Damsels’, his fifth solo piano CD, and then later in 2013 published a piano single, “;Love and All”;.
In mid-2015, Shepard announced his sixth solo piano album, ‘Mosaic’, and then later that year he surprised his fans with his first Christmas album, Christmas Piano. Christmas Piano represents Shepard’s seventh solo piano release.
Through a partnership with Wind Music, a leading independent music company in the Chinese-speaking markets, fans can purchase many of Shepard’s CD’s, including a beautiful 4-CD box set of his first four solo piano CD’s, in Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea.
Shepard’s music is played tens of thousands of times a day across various online internet radio programs, such as Pandora, Spotify, and Whisperings. In fact, in April 2015, Shepard announced that his solo piano music has been played over 50 million times on Pandora Internet Radio. Later that year, Pandora announced in the MorningConsult.com that Shepard’s music passed 70 million streams.
On October 28th, 2015, Shepard was invited by Pandora to speak with members of U.S. Congress on behalf of independent artists everywhere who are in the pursuit of making musical composition their way of life. In addition to meeting with lawmakers and their staff to discuss the state of music streaming and things like transparency in music reporting for musicians, Shepard also had the opportunity to perform a few of his songs in the U.S. House of Representatives during a luncheon.
His music and orchestrations can also be found in over a dozen games, including Sev Zero, Planet Puzzles, Monkey Buddy, Air Patriots, Lucky’s Escape, IMDb Trivia, Matches & Matrimony: A Pride and Prejudice Tale, Simplz: Zoo, Airport Mania: First Flight, Airport Mania 2: Wild Trips, Music Catch, and others. Much of Shepard’s other music for licensing can be heard on the “;Other Music”; page. In all, Shepard has composed many hundreds of songs across many genres.
Shepard currently resides in Southern California with his wife and two kids. Recently, Shepard has been co-writing with Steve Hoganson for various music projects for Film, TV, games, and media through their Shepard Audio music production company. In April 2016, Shepard Audio released its first album, called ‘Atmospheric: Music for Film.’ In addition to music, Shepard had a successful career in computers as a software engineer. His last role was as a senior developer for Amazon. He holds nine patents and has another six patents pending.
