自少年时期便开始自我创作及录制歌曲，并学习演奏鼓、钢琴、贝斯、大提琴与吉他，如今并已在其家乡ATLANTA的音乐界建立起其举足轻重的地位，他被亚特兰大音乐奖推选为\"亚特兰大最佳原音艺人(ATLANTA’S BEST ACOUSTIC ARTIST)\"，。深受BOB DYLAN, JONI MITCHELL...等民谣前辈所影响的SHAWN一直维持着不断四处巡回演唱及创作的走唱生活，一年中的演唱日子并高达200多天，却也从中验证到\"最真诚的音乐更能打动乐迷心房\"的不变理论，因此他的作品中有80%都是以真实生活中可能发生以及民间交相流传的人生故事为题材。1998年夏天，一间美国最具影响力的流行／摇滚电台，更率先决定将「SOUL’S CORE」专辑中的LULLABY一曲列为强力播放的曲目并率先拿下BILLBOARD ADULT TOP 40榜排行冠军，接着以超高的点播率稳坐HOT 100 SINGLES AIRPLAY榜双周冠军，最后挺进热门百名单曲榜TOP 7的SHAWN MULLINS，不仅荣获1999葛莱美奖\"最佳流行男歌手\"奖项提名，专辑「SOUL’S CORE」更迅速突破百万张销售纪录！
Shawn Mullins - Lullaby
she grew up with
the children of the stars
in the hollywood hills and the boulevard
her parents threw big parties
everyone was there
they hung out with folks like
dennis hopper, bob seeger, sonny and cher
now, she feels safe
in this bar on fairfax
and from the stage I can tell that
she can't let go and she can't relax
and just before
she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullaby, I sing
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
rockabye
she still lives with her mom
outside the city
down that street about a half a mile
and all her friends tell her
she's so pretty
but she'd be a whole lot prettier
if she smiled once in a while
`cause even her smile
looks like a frown
she's seen her share of devils
in this angel town
But, everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
rockabye
I told her I ain't so sure
about this place
it's hard to play a gig in this town
and keep a straight face
seems like everyone here's got a plan
it's kind of like nashville with a tan, but,
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye
everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye,rockabye, bye, bye
bye, bye
