ABOUT SHU:
(Click on the image above to read a comprehensive profile on Shu, written by TAXI - the world's pre-eminent independent A&R company - for The Music Business Registry)
Out to prove that popular R&B can be classic, this young but accomplished musician and solo artist has been accumulating loyal fans with his energizing and heartfelt live shows, and gaining industry credibility with his songwriting chops, recently named BOTH the Grand Prize Winner AND Finalist (runner-up) in the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest, competing against thousands of professional songwriters from around the world. This award comes in addition to Shu being recognized as a top songwriter in the Billboard Songwriting Contest, 2003 and again in 2006!
What critics are saying about SHUSIC:
"[Shusic is] without qualitative dips when it comes to songwriting, making it one of the strongest male indie releases so far this year. In fact, it's so good and the guy is so obviously talented, you'll be amazed it isn't on a major." - Echoes - The UK's Essential Black Music Monthly (June, 2006)
"Shu is a soulful, organic, original voice on the music scene. He has the ability to reach the intellectual, sophisticated listener and the down home crowd. His new CD "Shusic" is one of the most soulful, honest and provocative works to have come out this year. The CD is one of the best of 2005!!" - Kody Emmanuel, Producer - WBAI Radio
"Soul singer Shu's sound has been dubbed "a little bit Stevie Wonder, a little bit Marvin Gaye," but he's determined to blaze his own musical path... " - Samira Nanda - Reuters News Network
"Outstanding lyrics and originality . . . [his influences] blend and clash in Shu's music without robbing it of its individuality . . . [Shu is] in a class of his own . . ." - The Daily Nation
"If R&B softens you up and Funk starts you to grinding then the two of them together makes a smooth and lively ride. Shu's got plenty of catchy grooves, rhythms that make everything else melt away, and a fresh appeal that won't be fading anytime soon." - Renaissance Man Magazine
