Shavi Blake

Sometimes a particular experience or encounter will trigger a sonic snapshot, or a chord will resurrect a long buried memory. Other times, a cluster of words may leap from a graffiti wall, or from the rant of a homeless lunatic. Disclosing something brutally personal, it becomes an act of extreme intimacy. My music is moody, yet visceral, drawing elements from reggae, funk, folk, and jazz. I fuse these elements into my own style, contemporary "Urban Folk."
