Биография

Born to a proud Haitian couple in Philadelphia, Shad began his journey to becoming the artist we know today. He was raised in the Christian church, and after his mother put him in choir he began to develop an interest in music. His musical influences include great producers like Pharrell and Timbaland as well as musical legends BB King and Jimi Hendrix, to name a few. Pairing his inspirations with synesthesia love for sound itself quickly ensued. At a very young age, Shad lost his father. Traversing through that pain was not easy, left him with his mother and older brother as his main source of support. Love for his culture, family, music, and God is what fueled his passions and inspired him to pursue his love of art. Since then Shad released his debut project EMP (Emotion Makes Peace) in 2018. Just Shad shares, "this project served as a beacon to anyone who feels. Emotions aren't always peaceful, but working through the chaos of emotions, I believe anyone can find peace in it." Now Shad has become dedicated to learning how to manipulate sound and translate his emotions through music for all to enjoy.
