What is your background / where did your musical journey start?
My parents were both musicians locally in Australia back in the day so I feel it was in my blood from birth. I became a local Di in the neighborhood growing up and dj’d house parties and it grew from there!
How long have you been Djing and producing for?
I had started djing in my teenage years but started professionally at age 25
(Shout out to the C4 Promotion crew Melbourne for putting me on!)
I started playing around with producing a few years later and attended Audio school SAE in Port Melbourne. I wanted to be able to make my own remixes so my entry to the wonderful world of producing started there! As a producer, it was an on and off situation where I didn’t really jump into it until I produced 2 tracks for a local artist Mr Morgz. Then it took off from there.
What is the meaning behind this track?
The meaning behind “Deserve Better” I wanted to make a song that showed love and appreciation for the women in our lives who are holding it down on the daily. Our Grandmothers, mothers, wives, sisters, single mothers doing it tough even.. I feel in society they aren’t shown the respect they deserve and wanted to have a track they could listen to That reminds them they are loved and appreciated, and that they deserve better than what they may have as far as appreciation. Men aren’t always top of the class when it comes to showing appreciation but we definitely do appreciate it!
Who are the artist you featured on this track?
The artists I reached out to for this track were guys I feel we’re very talented!
Rico Maz, Nigerian Born now living in the Uk is definitely an artist on the rise and I definitely wanted his vocals over this track! He was my original collaboration and perfectly Worked his magic over the chorus and his verses 100% He has a smooth RnB vibe you don’t hear much of these days.
I also reached out to London based Artist / Producer, Thir13een who has done some vocal work for me over the past few years. This guy is talented beyond measure in my opinion! He writes, produces both RnB and hip hop also has Dance tracks he has produced which are up there with the best of them!
What advice do you have for upcoming aspiring artists?
I’d say if you live what you’re doing and have a genuine PASSION for it.. go for it and follow those dreams! I think the biggest ingredient in success is Passion. My Grandmother used to always say “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink it” Follow your passion, don’t worry about how long it may take.. do it! These days we have things like YouTube, you can learn almost anything on there! It’s amazing So we have no excuse not to follow up on our dreams!
What are your musical aspirations?
I would like to see the music I am making go all around the world! If I was to walk into a store or listen to a radio station in Nigeria or South Africa, Thailand or Canada and hear any of my tracks I would be happy.
As a Dj I’d love to go to a club and hear another Dj playing my record and see the crowd singing along! For me.. that would be full circle! As when I started djing I feel that when I found music as a passion!
Plans for the future?
My future plans first and foremost would be to look after my wife and children! I have been away for soo long working that I want the future to hold more time with them.
Musically would like to collaborate with more artists and make hits that people will vibe to! Nothing better than having people feel your artwork as it means you touched them in some way! I think music is the key to world peace!
What countries would you like to travel to and experience their Music?
I would love to travel around Africa! In particular Nigeria and experience the music scene there!
The music scene seems like it’s booming and the artists are soo talented!
I’d also like to travel the USA, & South America to experience the culture and music.
Who or what inspires you the most?
Artists with positive messages in their music inspire me the most! Music is a very powerful tool and we need to be careful about how we use it. As a producer, I must say inspiration comes from music with hints of cultural influences in it. It’s a new way to keep the culture alive in a world where we are really trying to hold onto culture before it evolves.
Also, a big inspiration for me is my children. I think about what music may sound like when they are older, how might music have evolved by then, and how they will grow in a world with music pushing particular narratives. They keep me focused on the future

After a two-year hiatus spent grappling with profound personal losses, including those of his uncle and grandma, two significant figures who helped shape his life, Detroit’s rapper and artist Shon Kash returns with the best possible tribute and ode to his lost loved ones, chronicling deeply personal and heartfelt tales of growing up from nothing and trying to navigate and make a mark for yourself in an environment that was not very suitable for growth—“FOREVER CURSED” is a project that encapsulates Shon Kash’s pain, resilience, and unbreakable spirit with lyrics that are as heartfelt as they are hard-hitting. Take a seat because this 12-track project is not just an album—it is a gripping memoir set to beats.
At the core of this project is an unfiltered look at grief, survival, and gratitude. The title track, “Forever Cursed” sets the tone with piercing lyricism that paints a vivid picture of the realities of growing up in Detroit’s unforgiving streets where there are no handouts and it’s every man for himself. The lyrics depict what it is like to grow up in poverty, each day evading venom from snakes, swimming through sharks; metaphorically capturing a reality akin to being raised by the wolves and the toughness that requires. Showcasing his lyrical strengths and unmatched knack for wordplay, Shon Kash is as earnest as he is captivating.
“Forever Tankful’s” essence is encapsulated by those powerful hooks—“Thankful for today, because we don’t know about tomorrow,” resonating as both a cautionary reflection and a daily mantra, reinforcing the album’s central theme of appreciating life despite its hardships. Lines like “Cutting corners trying to corner us” are a case example of top-tier wordplay, depicting a stark yet clever relentless struggle to escape life’s traps. This jam is a soulful declaration of appreciation for each moment amidst the chaos.
“Forever Down” is a gut-wrenching track that encapsulates the harrowing weight of watching loved ones succumb to crime and addiction and the loss this brings along with it. His melancholic words are captured by lines that depict the circles getting smaller and carrying around that smile as a disguise. The haunting question “Is it depression or anxiety” poignantly captures the mental battles that often remain unspoken in communities plagued by violence and loss. The backing female vocals inject that R&B syndrome that further elevates the track’s emotional depth.
The album’s thematic depth is further explored in “Forever Us,” another standout collaboration with a phenomenally talented female emcee. Shon flexes his lyrical prowess with clever double entendres like “reality checks don’t bounce,” which depict the daunting reality of growing up in a poverty-stricken hood where bills come before a check and only the strong survive. Also, this track is a testament to resilience and the ability to thrive under pressure, embodying the very essence of turning pain into power.
The emotional weight of the album culminates in its closing track, “Forever After”—a touching tribute to Shon Kash’s late uncle Curse and grandmother. Through vivid storytelling, he reminisces about late-night drives and heartfelt conversations with his uncle, who instilled in him the importance of education and ambition. The song also serves as a letter of gratitude to his grandmother, who provided him with spiritual guidance and unwavering support in a world where it’s all too easy to lose oneself.
With “FOREVER CURSED,” Shon Kash doesn’t just return to the rap game—he reclaims his voice. This album is an unfiltered reflection of pain, love, and perseverance, masterfully woven into powerful storytelling and sharp lyricism. For anyone who appreciates hip-hop that comes from an authentic place of raw emotion and lived experience, “FOREVER CURSED” is not just an album—it’s an experience.
Support Shon on his creative endeavors by streaming and purchasing this digital album, sharing it, and adding the tracks you dig most to your favorite playlist.

Neoclassical Music Composer Michele Nobler Envelops Us in a Warm, Beautiful Embrace With His Latest Release “Shore Whispers.”

DelvinImagine the mere fusion of time and space—where the elegance of neoclassical piano meets the vastness of ambient soundscapes, where the grandeur of the organ transforms into something both ethereal and modern. It is the sort of music that breathes, expanding and contracting, just like a living entity, each note carrying the weight of introspection, nostalgia, and quiet revelation. Now imagine no more because this is the sonic offering of one neoclassical piano composer Michele Nobler, based in the Marche region, an Italian region along the Adriatic Sea. As a music composer and passionate photographer, his artistry mirrors moving images, transforming them into melodies with universal appeal.
How beautiful can his kind of music be? I mean, his latest release Shore Whispers captures the melodic whispers of the shore as much as the scenic beauty of French coastal towns and spots, showcasing a profound sense of stillness in the compositions and yet, they are not static. The melodies here move like ripples across water, unfolding with a delicate patience that allows the listener to drift between the past and the present.
His deft fingerprints exude a warm comfort, touching the listener deep in their heart and soul; it is almost impossible to put these feelings into words. The minimalistic and crystalline piano serves as the emotional core—whispering rather than declaring, inviting rather than demanding. It is the language of longing, of fleeting moments captured in sound.
Shore Whispers consists of 14 tracks with a runtime of 35 minutes and 1 second. It is fascinating how the music deeply immerses you to the point where you lose track of time, and by the time the project is over, you feel like time has eluded you… it feels like half the time has passed because of just how comforting, tranquil, and ethereally beautiful the melodies are.
“Cap Gris Nez” captures the warm, friendly, and welcoming demeanor of this town located in Cote d’Opale in the French department of Pas-de-Calais, in Northern France. The piano melodies mirror the beautiful shores in the distance that are just as inviting as its people. The gentle melodies speak directly to the soul, exuding a timeless feeling that is guaranteed to stay with you even after the sweet, comforting tones are no more.
“Isola Luce Del Mare” captures the light of the sea, maybe at night—something that is indescribably beautiful. The touchingly beautiful piano exudes this warm, pulsing melodic presence, evoking a sacred-like feeling. It is as if Michele Nobler puts you right in that specific moment—a moment of rare, pristine beauty to relish.
“Making Bread” feels exactly like art and is reminiscent of a close, intimate setting with people you love and value dearly. The mellifluent piano melodies offer you an escape into a world of your own making… As long as you can imagine it, the music transports you right there!
And through it all, he also manages to capture the essence of romantic imagination with the gentle “Kisses on Tiptoe” and the livelier “Kisses on Tiptoe (Bright Version).” I mean, what a project!
