--SHADE 1 BIOG--
Shade 1 grew around music/ Big speakerboxes with his father owning the local
Soundsystem and mother fillng the house with the sounds of Al Green,
Teddy Pendrgrass or Loose Endz.....
he first started rhyming in '92 and would spend his days freestylin over instrumentals.
He was inspired by his older brother & Yogi who were local MC's.....
They made him realise that one day he wanted to be on stage pleasing crowds.
In '96 he moved to S.London where he became immersed in the jungle &
garage scene, mc'ing @ local raves...
In 2000 he moved back to midlands & started to work with the local pirates & premier
garage dj/promoter in the area.....
From there things got hectic with "shadez" getting regular bookings all over the UK
starting with Hysteria and then getting a residents spot in Ayia Napa summer 00....
Shade 1 had drifted away from music after the loss of a close friend....
But the birth of his first child pushed him to take both his talent & music
industry more seriously.After networkig with various Mc's from all over
the midlands he formed "Midlands Mafia" and started workin hard on
radio , mixtapes and shows both here & europe....
The New breed of music was a cross between hip hop influenced beats
and grime/up tempo lyrics that set the foundation of the "Mafia" sound.
Shade 1 is set to take the industry by surprise with his long awaited
Debut Album "Tryna Break Thru" due early 09...
