Biography Shiah Coore, firstborn to musician Cat Coore (Third World) and artisan Donna Feltis-Coore (Ital Craft), was born in Kingston Jamaica, 1979. As one of a handful of children belonging to the island's reggae-elite, Shiah Coore was raised in the music industry. He showed interest for music early in life, performing living room shows with Damian Marley at the age of six. The Shepherds was later developed by Donna Feltis-Coore after she put an advertisement in the newspaper to find other members and named the band. The members of the band were Shiah Coore's lifelong friend Damian Marley, Yashema Beth McGregor, daughter of Freddie McGregor and Judy Mowatt, Richard Bertrand and Noel Parks, son of Lloyd Parks. They would later perform together at Sunsplash 1991.

Coore later attended the Jamaica School of Music, playing bass guitar under the instruction of Maurice Gordon. Then Coore submitted an audition tape featuring his best scales and patterns to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, United States, and in late 1999 entered on a scholarship. Here he furthered his bass studies with Rich Appleman and Danny Morris, and also began to explore music production and engineering. To date, his bass tones can be heard on album recordings with NAS, Joss Stone, AR Rahman, Third World, Mick Jagger, Chronixx, Eric Clapton, Dave Stewart, Damian and Stephen Marley or on the SuperHeavy project. Since 2003, he is touring as a bass player with Damian Marley.
