shakota is quickly moving to the front when it comes to innovation in the music industry - he’s determined to not be boxed off into one genre. An indie and alternative heartbeat, shakota nods to many different influences within his music including Mac Miller, Bakar, Tyler the Creator and Steve Lacy. These inspirations have been merged together creating his own unique blend of music.
shakota’s latest offering comes in the form of the colourful single ‘TOO FAST.’ Guitar melodies ebb and flow between each other, all soaked in chorus and creating a velvet wall of noise. The track features a groovy drum beat that pierces through the mix and will get you up and dancing. shakota’s voice is soft, but tinged with passion and emotion and comes in the form of infectious melodies.
Speaking about the release he says: "I wanted to experiment with two completely different sections, I think it creates a really interesting contrast.”
With his first release being in 2020, we feel the step up is clear. The young artist is clearly carving his own sound, his own identity and his own path in the music industry and it’s one to watch.
