It was during this time that he began his recording career and has since appeared in more than 5 albums. Shulman next turned to television and film and landed several roles, including Jodie Foster’s Little Man Tate, M.

Shulman recently received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University with a major in the History of Art. In 2006, Shulman teamed with Los Angeles-based Craig Saavedra, who directed him in "Rhapsody In Bloom", to form Starry Night Entertainment. In 2009, Shulman produced and starred in the comedy/drama "Sherman's Way" opposite James LeGros, Enrico Colantoni, Brooke Nevin, Lacey Chabert and Donna Murphy.
