South London born artist, Shogun Shato began pursuing music as a career, in Edinburgh, towards the start of 2020. Being heavily informed by a variety of musical genres including grime, hip hop, garage and jazz, he channels these influences in combination with thought-provoking and witty lyricism to create his sound.

After a successful first year of releases, including being featured on BBC Introducing, Shogun Shato released his debut EP “Chrysalis”, paying homage to many of his musical influences whilst simultaneously informing listeners of his journey up until this point.
