16 year old John Shields's piano filled debut, featuring a self produced mix of styles. Originally a small side project grown into a year and a half long pastime, "Scheduled Programming" features John Shields's first original works created in times of struggle and relief. The album has a slew of punchy piano melodies, as well as some spoken word and rock qualities. The lyrics within "Scheduled Programming" paint the picture of youth and angst, while staying genuine in nature. "Music is my passion, and I love every day that I can write what I feel into my music. I put my sweat, blood, and tears into it; and it's my life! "Scheduled Programming" has been something I've been waiting to release for almost too long, and I'm so excited to finally share it. I dedicated this album to my parents, who I wouldn't have been able to get this far without. I hope you guys enjoy this music as much as I did creating it!" songs by John Shields, recorded and mixed at my house and Justin's house, piano and vocals performed by John Shields guitar and bass for Hit Single, All Time Favorite, Rose Petal Eyes, Your Metaphorical Week, Questions to a Novel, Everything House, and Broken Machines performed by my dad (John S.
