Background
Shenale was born in Canada in 1951.[4][5] His family relocated to the United States in the late-1950s. His earliest memories of music consist of hearing his father, an avid lover of classical music, play the violin, cello and mandolin in their home during his childhood. After attending a Latin High Mass at the age of five, he recalls being drawn to the piano in an attempt to recreate the music he had heard during the ceremony. The experience awakened his passion for the art and he soon found himself improvising his own music. It wasn't until the age of twelve, however, that he began formal piano lessons.
Shenale began serious composition while in high school, drawing inspiration from classical composers such as Ravel, Granados, Britten and Stravinsky. He soon discovered modern-day musicians such as The Yardbirds, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles which ignited his passion for rock and roll, leading him to form his first band. During his undergraduate studies, he first majored in physics and then music before dropping out in favor of playing and travelling with a hard rock club band.
Career
Shenale has a very deliberate production style, carefully creating a very natural-sounding theatrical background using both cutting-edge and very old tools.[6][7] He has contributed his talents as a composer, arranger, musician and/or producer[8] to over forty Gold and Platinum albums, both domestic and international and over thirty Top-40 singles. His work has been associated with 21 Grammy nominations.[9][10][11][12][13]
He believes the connection to the artist is key while he is working as a producer.
"The artist may only bring lyrics, but they bring the story of their life. The producer is sucking all of the life juice out of the artist to get their stamp on the track. From that standpoint, it's not a manipulation of notes, but of reality."[14] John Philip Shenale
Early work
Shenale's early work began in film, a medium he would subsequently revisit throughout his career, with 1971's The Young Graduates. Continuing throughout the 1970s he recorded and performed live with artists such as Gregory Hines, Redbone, Jon Lucien, Bobby Womack and Severance.[15] However, he considers his collaborations, specifically during the latter part of the decade, with artists such as Jim Keltner and The Beach Boys to be of particular value and significance, affording him a considerable amount of time in-studio where he was given the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art equipment and to learn the language and various philosophies behind recording professionally.
Shenale's instruments of choice during this time included the piano, Hammond, Fender Rhodes, Clavinet, Orchestron, Mellotron along with various other synthesizers.
In popular music
Shenale's work[16] has been featured on albums by artists such as Tori Amos,[17][18][19][20] Willy DeVille,[21] Jane's Addiction,[22][23] Tracy Chapman, Billy Idol,[24] Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, The Bangles, Dionne Warwick, Rick Springfield, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and John Hiatt.[25]

Affair of the heart was the hit song from Living in Oz album, peaked at No.9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for a Grammy award for Best Rock Vocal Performance.[29] Cash Box said the song "shows a greater use of synthesizers and a hardened guitar sound" than previous Springfield songs but retains his ability to create a powerful refrain.
In 1984 he teamed up with Janet Jackson for her Dream Street album (1984, Composer, arranger, keyboards).[30] The music video for the song Dream Street was shot during the shooting of the TV show Fame.[31]
Shenale worked with Belinda Carlisle on her albums Belinda (1986, Keyboards, synthesizer) which was certified Gold[32] and peaked at no. 13 at Billboard 200[33] and Her greatest hits /The Best of Belinda, Volume 1 (1992, Keyboards, synthesizer) which was certified as multi platinum album.[34]

The song's accompanying music video humorously depicted people (including the band members) shoplifting at a grocery story and won an MTV video music award for best alternative video.[46] While John Philip Shenale is credited with the strings arrangement on Three Days he performed as well on Then She Did...[47]
He has been a member of the Royal Macadamians band along with Davitt Sigerson, John Beverly Jones and Bob Thiele Jr. releasing the Experiments in Terror album (1990) creating an arty and idiosyncratic mixture of jazz-and-funk-infected tunes given a surrealistic spin.[48][49] He worked as an engineer for Robert Cray's Midnight Stroll album (1990, engineer) and he played the bass for Billy Idol's Charmed Life album (1990, bass).

Shenale collaborated with Toni Childs for her albums House of Hope (1991, keyboards, programming) which was certified as two times platinum in Australia and platinum in New Zealand[51]. Los Angeles Times noted that despite the title it's a haunted house. Through its halls walk tormented ghosts, each one a victim of incestuous fathers and alcoholic husbands, of circumstances and of themselves. Toni Childs noted that the album talks about a lot of things that we don't like to acknowledge because it feels like there's a stigme, like we are not supposed to talk about them. We talk about a dark album but I am shining light on these things to make it more light.[52] He collaborated with her again on the Ultimate Collection album (2000, keyboards, programming).

Shenale did great work with DeVille out of his North Hollywood compound, with albums that maintained DeVille's career in Europe in a major way, as he had, in all practicality, given up on his American career.[74][75] According to Willy DeVille, John Philip Shenale always heard the sound Willy wanted to create and he knew how to bring out the best in him in the studio, (...) he kept it together and made it work.[76]
