From the humble town of Partenit in Crimea SHADU has emerged as a groundbreaking force in the global music scene starting at the age of six with violin studies laid the foundation for an extraordinary career SHADU exemplifies what it means to craft music that transcends both borders and boundaries which set the stage for her to reach audiences far beyond her origins (S): Everyone in this world experiences different stages in life There are times when life is overflowing with love and then there are moments when it feels like everything is collapsing into darkness But what I want you to know is that after the darkest night if it feels like the colour has drained from your life remember that the most beautiful emotions and unforgettable moments are still waiting for you just around the corner I’ve always been drawn to learning new instruments I think I’ve always had a passion for DJing I felt so inspired by this new thing that I can’t even imagine how I lived without DJing before I realise that mixing DJing with singing is exactly what I’ve been looking for all my life and doing what I love makes me truly happy they create something unique and memorable Her efforts and talent are truly invaluable helping me express who I am in the most authentic way I couldn’t do it without her vision and creativity I’m thrilled to have such a dedicated and talented team and I genuinely appreciate how my team and I are in perfect sync we’re crafting this unique blend of trendy Afro-house music and stunning visuals (S): The world is a pretty uncertain place right now and people often don’t feel as comfortable and secure as they once did I hope that my music will help people take a break from the global issues we’re facing and find joy in the present moment I want my music to inspire people to find the strength and motivation to believe in a better future for ourselves and our children I hope that when people listen to my music the most important motivation is my creativity It’s what gets me up in the morning and keeps me going all day long It’s an honour and a genuine joy for me to see a new Shazam It’s so important to me that my music resonates in people’s hearts – to be listened to They’re a great indicator that I’m on the right path most amazing dream is to hear people singing my song and creating and sharing content on my social networks I feel like I could do so much more all the time But when I look back at everything that I’ve achieved in such a short period of time I realise how happy and proud of myself I am This is my motivation to wake up every day with an open heart to this world A world where I can be myself and make my own music
