Describe your musical journey in three sentences.
My musical journey has been fun as hell and very enlightening. Sometimes I want results to be instant, but then I remember to embrace the journey. Each song, performance, and new experience/milestone is euphoric and more addicting than drugs.
Share an interesting experience you had while creating your latest track.
With my latest track, a listener contacted me and told me that it made him feel powerful, and that was special to me.
What message do you want to convey through your music?
Believe in yourself and love who you are and what you do.
Tell us about a challenge you faced during production and how you overcame it.
Trying to get the right producer.
If you could collaborate with any artist, who would it be and why?
- Kendrick Lamar
- J Cole
- Kenny Mason
- JID
- DaBaby
They’re my active favorite artists (in that order). I have plenty of others on the list, but to me, their lyrical abilities stand out the most, with extra credit to DaBaby for his music videos. I gotta get a video with him and Lil Wayne.
Where do you see your music taking you in the next year?
I see my music taking me on tour in 10+ countries and to a spot on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as to the Grammys as a nominee (and hopefully a winner). I also see myself performing in an NBA arena.
What’s the next big step for you as an artist?
The very next big step for me is to release my album that I’ve been working on.
We occasionally feature artists on our Bird of Paradise Podcast for in-depth discussions. Would this be something you’re interested in exploring?
For sure.
Are there any other promotional opportunities you’re looking for to boost your visibility?
I would love to get my songs in a few movies.
Where can we hear/watch your most recent work?
I’m out on all streaming platforms, such as YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and many others. Just type in “ShaDashRon” and my music will pop up. Here’s my Apple Music link.
What is the best way to contact you if fans want to give feedback or if other artists/producers want to collaborate?
The best way to contact me is on Instagram @shadashron_.
