The first time I saw Shad live was at the Starlight in Waterloo when I was in University. I wore a neon t-shirt that said “Too legit to quit”, and Ashleigh Ball (lead singer of Hey Ocean!) said she liked my T. I was there for Hey Ocean! and Shad was just a pleasant surprise. We got down that night.

Fast forward a couple (ok more then a couple years) and I just got home from seeing Shad K the new host of CBC’s Q, live at Massey Hall. Shad killed it tonight, had erryone on their feet vibing the whole set and then gave us an encore, because we wanted more, of smooth, clean, freestyle, conscious flowetry that he is known for.

Here’s a taste of what Shad K do.

To my delight, I was again pleasantly surprised at a Shad show as the opener was #newtome artist Zaki Ibrahim. The beautiful soul seductress did it all, from singing angelically, to beatboxing, to drumming to rapping...she slayed. Am now streaming her entire album, which you should too...or check this out: 

Thank you Shad and Zaki for an amazing and memorable evening of music. 

What upcoming shows are you excited about?

Talk soon,
