Shaun Ryder

Shaun Ryder is a singer and songwriter from Salford, England, who first found fame in the 1980s as the frontman of the Madchester band Happy Mondays before forming Black Grape. His music mixes indie rock with funk, dance and hip hop rhythms, and his loose, surreal lyrics made him a defining voice of the British baggy scene.
