Born on May 3, 1968, in Modesto, California, Shane Minor enjoyed a brief career as a country artist before rebranding himself as a popular songwriter for other artists. His self-titled debut album, Shane Minor, was released in 1999. Two songs, "Slave to the Habit" and "Ordinary Love," became Top 40 country hits in America and Top 10 hits in Canada. Minor spent a year on the road with Shania Twain, serving as the opening act on her wildly successful Come On Over Tour. After the tour's completion, he shifted priorities and began focusing on songwriting instead, penning Number 1 hits like Diamond Rio's crossover single "Beautiful Mess," Steve Holy's gold-certified "Brand New Girlfriend," Kenny Chesney's "Live a Little," and Cole Swindell's "Chillin' It."
