About
Shakka was born from Dominican parents, cocooned in the multicultural busy bustle of Notting Hill (Grove), and marinated in Dub Reggae, Hip-Hop, Motown and Garage. Shakespeare looked at music as the food of love, so it’s safe to say he has been cooking since the age of pacifiers.
His father, a guitarist and producer of the Reggae band “The Foreigners Crew”, made sure he was immersed into music as a child. So he played keys and ended up singing a few songs for the band.
Learning about music production and recording at secondary school, Saturday music school (CYM), and at his local youth centre (LYC) he began to concoct his own songs until now, working closely with fellow rapper Incisive (myspace.com.incisive1), a geezer he owes a lot to for his current musical progress.
Because of these (and the Internet) he eventually drew from different styles of music – kind of like teenage rebellion against the polished commercialised music – and ended up being influenced by 80s funk, 80s ballad rock, Jazz, Dance, contemporary Detroit hip-hop, Latin, Calypso; the list goes on.
Now, he’s promoting his newly completed EP entitled Foolishness Vol.1, promoting it through live gigs with “The Amazing Band”. Bon apetite!
