Gary Makinson built SHAMEGRIN from real nights with anxiety — racing thoughts, tight chest, smiling through a panic attack while the world thinks you’re fine.
He doesn’t write party anthems. He writes survival songs. Every track is for someone who needed to hear “you’re not crazy for feeling this” at the hour when therapists are asleep and your friends think you’re okay.
That’s why there’s no face on camera. Anxiety doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like a smile. SHAMEGRIN is the sound behind that smile.

No face. Just sound

You’re not alone
