About Me

SHADZEmerging from Bristol's burgeoning dubstep scene comes an emcee who stands head & shoulders above the water margin. A versatile lyricist, powerful singer & no-holds-barred rapper all in one, Shadz has quickly won fans with his comanding stage presence & consumate professionalism. Backed by the Root Elevation band lead by drummer/producer Type Sun, this is live dubstep & future soul at it's most edgy & interactive. Keyboards, bass guitar, mpc & drum kit combine to perform tunes by such in demand producers as: Joker (Kapsize/Earwax), Gemmy (Planet Mu), Jack Sparrow (Contagious/Senseless), Wedge (HENCH) & Guido (Punch Drunk). No loops, no sequencers, just straight-up from-the-guts soundsystem rockers..."Wonderfully gritty vocals..." - DJ Magazine, 5-stars, Hip-Hop Single of the Month"You were just what we needed..." - Tony Benjamin, Jazz Lounge organiser, Glastonbury 2008Set-up: Vocalist + 4 musicians (backline available, can perform as acoustic trio where appropriate)Contact: [email protected]/shadz_man
