Shakka Interview

Shakka is the guy right now. The The MOBO Award-winning singer, emcee, songwriter, producer and performer is a classic example of what one would describe as a renaissance man. His live shows are second to none, with the cheeky artist possessing the ability to capture a crowd with bare wit if he chose. Aside from storming the UK Charts with Wretch 32 for the 2013 hit single 'Blackout', his single 'Say Nada' featuring JME was an instant radio smash with Shakka supported by BBC Radio 1xtra. Multi-faceted in every sense of the word, he is a part of that specific heritage of well-rounded artists who only come around so many years in music.
