It is no understatement to share that without the superb scores of Shawn Pierce, Haven would not be as beloved as it has become over the sixty-six episodes spanning some six years on television, a masterful accomplishment by any entertainment standard.

In 1997, three years after the Stargate movie, the television series “SG-1” began a groundbreaking ten year run, first on Showtime some five years before the series was picked up for the second five year renewal at Syfy, then known as “SciFi”.

Shawn continued as a Music Editor in several successful series such as Jeremiah and The Outer Limits. Admirers of Shawn Pierce are well aware of his outstanding 131 episode contribution to The Outer Limits , a series that ran for seven seasons, something almost unheard of in 2015! Shawn continued to impress the creators six more years when he was asked to compose his first episode of in 2001!

From thereafter, beginning in earnest in 2003, Shawn Pierce expanded his career as a Composer with fifty-four fabulous creations including famous series such as Poltergeist: The Legacy, The Dead ZoneTodd and the Book of Pure Evil, The Bridge, Motive, the well received Canadian western drama series The Pinkertons, which premiered in the United States in October 2014, and of course, our beloved series Haven!

Shawn Pierce is well known for his work in the world of recorded music as a prolific record producer. A music lover, and genuinely friendly individual, Shawn’s work on producing albums has taken a backseat to his scoring work after many years of passionately doing both.
