Sheik had an expansive career in theater, later making music for stage adaptations of The Secret Life of Bees and American Psycho. But he eventually returned to his roots as a recording artist, releasing his ninth studio album Claptrap in 2022.

“I’ve been writing and making music since I was 6 years old,” he concluded. “So for four decades, that’s my craft. I want to make music that moves people’s hearts and transports them to some kind of mysterious, enigmatic, beautiful, amazing place.”
