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).

In "Too Bad Bad," Shakka and Mr Eazi explore a longing for love and companionship in the midst of difficult circumstances. The song opens with Shakka reflecting on the previous night's gunshots and feeling grateful for his own life. He turns to alcohol as a coping mechanism to ease his pain, but recognizes that he really needs the love and comfort of someone else. He sings about the way he feels "brand new" when he's with this person and how he forgets all of his problems. Mr Eazi comes in with a verse that expresses his yearning for this person's love, and they both repeat the chorus, wondering how they are "ba-bad" and hoping to find a way to be together despite their challenges.
The chorus is the most memorable and catchy aspect of the song, with the repeated refrain of "How you ba-bad? Too ba-bad, aaah, aaah." The phrase "ba-bad" doesn't have a clear meaning, but it seems to be related to being attractive or desirable. Shakka and Mr Eazi are asking this person what makes them so irresistible, and wishing they could be with them constantly.
Overall, "Too Bad Bad" is a song about the human need for connection and intimacy, even in the face of adversity. Shakka and Mr Eazi use catchy melodies and playful lyrics to convey their desire for love and their appreciation of the people who make life worth living.
