His lone studio album ''The Way I Feel'' (2002) reached number one on the Canadian Albums chart. The album and its single "Take a Message", earned him four Grammy Award nominations.
==Career== Shand became a fan of artists such as Stevie Wonder, The Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Steely Dan and Earth, Wind & Fire. During 1998 he began to write and record songs independently.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/76398/an-rb-newcomer-from-canada-remy-shand-delivers-the-way-i-feel|title=An R&B Newcomer From Canada? Remy Shand Delivers 'The Way I Feel'|date=March 21, 2002|publisher=Billboard|website=billboard.com}}</ref> Three years later, he was signed to Motown Records, and these songs became the basis for his first and only album, ''The Way I Feel'' which was released on March 12, 2002.<ref name=van>[http://uniter.ca/view/winnipegs-one-hit-wonders "Winnipeg’s one-hit wonders. They were supposed to be the next big thing. Where did they go?"]. ''The Uniter'', Catherine van Reenen, March 31, 2011</ref> The album won a Juno Award for Best R&B/Soul Recording in the 2003 Juno Awards. In 2002, Shand also released the hit singles "Rocksteady" and "Take A Message".<ref name=van />
Shand now leads a quiet life out of the public eye and has transitioned into electrical engineering, stating: "''Motown was one of the few studios that built their own gear. I think that inspired me to become more than just an entertainer. Modern music has always been dictated by technological advancements intertwined with cultural movements. Song and dance have been around for ages and I would like to encourage more artists to evolve beyond that cycle, separate themselves from the pageantry, and get heavy with the recording arts and sciences. It’s time to step into the future and innovate.''"<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.umusic.ca/press-releases/remy-shands-acclaimed-no-1-album-the-way-i-feel-available-on-vinyl-more-than-two-decades-after-release/ | title=Remy Shand's acclaimed no. 1 album The way I feel available on vinyl more than two decades after release | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230412142424/https://www.umusic.ca/press-releases/remy-shands-acclaimed-no-1-album-the-way-i-feel-available-on-vinyl-more-than-two-decades-after-release/ | archive-date=2023-04-12}}</ref>
