Ian &amp; Shayne teamed up back in 2006 when Shayne discovered Ian's albums while he was servicing his vehicle. He noticed CDs on the passengers seat with Ian's name &amp; photo on them. He played a couple of tracks and was very impressed by not only the quality of Ian's artwork design, but his music &amp; production also sounded very professional. Ian is also known for his numerous international collaborations and his virtual band <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/cybase" target="_blank" title="Cybase">Cybase</a> <br /><br />Debs, an honours degree graduate from Auckland University is not only the lead vocalist for Glass Puppets and an Auckland-based cover band, but is also a violin virtuoso as well! <br /><br />Scott started playing drums in school band at age 11.
