"I'm looking forward to working with East West Records and can't wait to share my music with you."
Shane is no stranger to the music industry, having already released two albums in 1997 and 2000.
In 2003, his Children in Need cover version of Wham's 'I'm Your Man' peaked at number two in the charts, while his son Jake Roche is the lead singer in popular band Rixton.
More recently, fans have seen Shane star in EastEnders spinoff Redwater, which followed Kat and Alfie to Ireland in search of her long-lost son.
With currently no word on whether the series will be renewed, speculation has been rife over whether the Moons could return to EastEnders as part of new boss John Yorke's plans to turn the show around.
