Shaka Shams grew up between Antwerp, the UK, and his South African roots. Music became his home at an early age, shaped by influences from hip hop, soul, drum ’n’ bass and house, and a distinctive nostalgic voice that makes his sound unique. With a strong visual identity, inspired by anime and cartoons, he creates his own universe full of mystique and energy. Through his Action Only EP series and winning De Nieuwe Lichting 2022, Shaka has proven himself as one of the most promising new voices in the Belgian scene.
