"The only emcee from the Rock of Gibraltar."
Gideon Bentata, who goes by the pseudonym "SpitShine", was originally born on the Rock of Gibraltar. While still in his teens, Gideon moved to the UK to study in university. It was in England where he began to songwrite and develop his skills as an emcee.
After studying in the UK he decided to continue his education in Toronto, Canada where he was more exposed to the North-American HipHop scene. There he graduated from Graphic Design and Recorded Music Production. After graduating, he then began developing his skills as a music producer working with various artists around Toronto. With an arsenal of skills, he then built a home studio and started his independent production label, Cognition Studios .
Cognition Studios offers unsigned artists affordable production, engineering, recording, as well as design and promotion. While the label focuses on aiding artist development, Gideon is also currently developing his own mixtape and debut album.
With influences from electronica and jazz, as well as having a very unique accent, Gideon is able to stand out amongst many artists with his rare flow and musical style, hence the name, Spit-Shine .
Competing with the constant evolution of music, SpitShine is able to combine elements of dark classical and jazz music, with an influence of electronica, to create a complex score of unique Hip-Hop rhythms. With a lyrical flow compared to that of Talib Kweli, SpitShine is ready to take on the world with his unparalleled sound.
Directing his musical expression on life, its troubles, and conscious thought, SpitShine aims to give his music meaning, working hard not only to expose himself, but other aspiring artists as well.
