Vocalist best known as the former lead singer of the band Asking Alexandria. He previously sang and played guitar for Make Me Famous and Down & Dirty. He got noticed by millions of people and multiple record labels by making YouTube covers and original songs. He dropped out of school to pursue music as a career. His parents were supportive of his decision.

On 22 January 2015, lead singer Danny Worsnop announced his departure from Asking Alexandria to focus on his new band We Are Harlot, of which it was quickly stated that his replacement was already found. On 26 May 2015, Shaforostov was officially announced as the new lead vocalist when they released their first single together titled "I Won't Give In" on 27 May. Speculation regarding Shaforostov's involvement started shortly after Worsnop's departure due to similarities between Asking Alexandria and Make Me Famous (who were said to have been ripping off the band's), the fact that they were label mates would have made the transition easy for Shaforostov to make, and on his personal YouTube account he had covered multiple Asking Alexandria songs.
