Profitt began playing guitar in 2018 when his grandfather gave him one for Christmas. After this, he began learning to perform cover songs at local venues in addition to writing his own material. After encountering a woman at a guitar store, he took her on a date to a sushi restaurant where he met country music singer Chris Janson and his wife, Kelly, who is also his manager. The Jansons signed Profitt to a songwriting contract, which led to Janson recording two of his songs on his 2021 album All In. He also selected Profitt as an opening act on his Halfway to Crazy tour.{{cite web | url=https://countrynow.com/country-next-shane-profitt/ | title=Country Next: Shane Profitt | publisher=Country Now | date=October 25, 2022 | accessdate=January 9, 2023 | author=Melissa Lorge}}
