Night Shield
Biography

Growing up on a reservation is never an easy thing; it's a struggle just to survive. That's why it's amazing to see someone come from nothing and accomplish so much. Gabriel Night Shield, a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, grew up on the Rosebud Reservation. With the odds stacked against him Night Shield was raised in a single parent home and was heavily influenced by Hip Hop. From Bone Thugs N Harmony's, "Creepin On Ah Come Up", Wu Tang Clan’s, "Enter The 36 Chambers" to 2Pac's, "Me Against The World", he soaked it all up. During high school Gabriel wrote poems and short stories that gained him prestige through out the community, he was also a popular DJ for local events around the area. His visions included a future in the music business owning his own record label, Night Shield Entertainment. In 1997 when he graduated from high school he set off to make that dream a reality, attending the Art Institute of Seattle to study Audio Production. During his 2-year stay in Seattle Gabriel made a lot of important contacts in the business and recorded many genres of music. Night Shield also started to develop as an artist himself recording many of his very own songs. After his 1999 graduation Night Shield returned to the Rosebud Reservation to further his success.Eight years later, Gabriel, now a resident of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is a force to be reckoned with, as he is both an artist on and C.E.O. of Night Shield Entertainment. Night Shield Entertainment has released 10 full-length albums (The Nation, Hostile Takeover, The Savage Alliance, It’z Official, Kataztrophik, Nightmerika, Savage Display: The Total Package, Revenge Of The Nerds, Paranormal: The War Within & Loved & Hated) that continously raise the bar in both South Dakota and Native American Hip Hop. 2002 was the start of Night Shield the solo artist, he had a 1 radio requested song (Ride With Me from The Hostile Takeover) and the 1 South Dakota Hip-Hop/Rap download on MP3.com for the year. In 2004, Night Shield released his critically acclaimed solo debut album, “Kataztrophik”, and in late 2005 released it’s follow-up, “Savage Display: The Total Package”. Fall 2007 saw the release of his 3rd solo epic, “Loved & Hated”. Night Shield has been nominated by the Native American Music Awards in the Best Rap / Hip Hop Recording category for the past 3 years and took home the award in 2007 for his 2nd album, “Savage Display: Total Package”, also in 2007 he was nominated for the Best Male Artist award, being only the 2nd Hip Hop act ever to be nominated in that category and was also selected by VIBE Magazine as one of the top 51 unsigned acts in the nation. Night Shield has performed all over country and appeared on over 40 album releases nation wide from various artists. In this time span Night Shield has garnered major label recognition, been featured in several local and national publications, had his own PBS special and been asked to give guest lectures at many South Dakota high schools and colleges.Gabriel also manages and promotes Maniac: The Siouxpernatural, a Native American rapper from the Cheyenne River reservation who has released 2 albums on the Night Shield Entertainment label. Maniac has also been nominated by both the Native American Music Awards & Indian Summer Music Awards and is considered to be one the best Native lyricists in the business.Currently Night Shield is busy touring the U.S. promoting his 3rd solo album, “Loved & Hated”, and continuously working on new music. What went from a High School kid's dream has become a powerful and respected reality. Night Shield is determined to meet his goals, with over 15,000 album sales and being at the forefront of South Dakota and Native Hip Hop Gabriel is leaving a powerful mark on the independent music scene.
