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.
After studying Music Production and Theory, Classical Piano, Percussion and Vocals at CYM (Centre for Young Musicians), working closely with fellow rapper Incisive, he released his first EP entitled Foolishness Vol.1, and The Shakka Crown Affair, his widely received Concept Mixtape taking influence from The Thomas Crown Affair, where he experiments with Hip-Hop, Jazz, Indie Rock, and Electronic music.
Alongside his latest Shakkapella video-series, where he covers popular songs recreating the music in a beat-box fashion, he is promoting his Mixtape and other songs at shows across the UK (Loughborough, Lincoln, and Brighton to name a few).

Shakka Lyrics
I see you staring at the part of the room that I'm standing in
As if I'm doing magic tricks whilst you wonder how they're happening
He-ey
Ooh, her eyes got me travelling
Ooh, Cupid's got a javelin
Oh, no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
Oh, no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
I'm out of control, I'm out of control
Around you
I'm out of control, I'm out of control
Around you
Yeah
Pretty bad at one-liners but I'm damn good at shuffling
Trust, it's better if we dance, if I talk, I'll be rambling
Ye-eah
Ooh, why can't I stop gazing?
And woo, Cupid's got a javelin
Oh, no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
Oh, no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
I'm out of control, I'm out of control
Around you
I'm out of control, I'm out of control
Around you
Oh no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
Oh no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me (do to me)
I'm out of control, I'm out of control
Around you
I'm out of control, I'm out of control
Around you
Good morning, Shakka, it is 8 o'clock, please rise for your day
Good morning, Shakka, it is 8 o'clock, please rise for your day
Please ensure you take your daily serum during your morning preparation
To avoid harm from toxic gas in the public environment
(Aah, for fuck's sake, this never tastes better!)
Please ensure you take your daily serum during your morning preparation
To avoid harm from toxic gas in the public environment
(Hmm, my head hurts, mine has never hurt before) commence morning preparation
Good morning, Londoners, enjoy your haven of comfort and efficiency
Embrace a city of peace, a city without violence
As we take the serum every morning, we pledge a day of peace
Love and harmony with our loved ones
Man, there are so many people each in the same grey uniform
Walking along the same grey pavements to the same grey factories
Why have I never noticed this before?
As if I'm doing magic tricks whilst you wonder how they're happening
He-ey
Ooh, her eyes got me travelling
Ooh, Cupid's got a javelin
Oh, no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
Oh, no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
Around you
I'm out of control, I'm out of control
Around you
Yeah
Pretty bad at one-liners but I'm damn good at shuffling
Trust, it's better if we dance, if I talk, I'll be rambling
Ye-eah
Ooh, why can't I stop gazing?
And woo, Cupid's got a javelin
Oh, no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
Oh, no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
I'm out of control, I'm out of control
Around you
I'm out of control, I'm out of control
Around you
Oh no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me
Oh no
You don't know what you do, don't know what you do to me (do to me)
I'm out of control, I'm out of control

I'm out of control, I'm out of control
