Mr ShaoDow performs new song live

Mr ShaoDow is part of a rare breed - he is a rapper from Oxfordshire.

Unfortunately even that connection is slightly tenuous as he came to our county to do a law degree.

But since then we have embraced him to our hearts and for the last three or four years he has packed out the venues across the county including Truck.

For his part he has fully immersed himself in the local scene. Initially he teamed up with fellow Oxford student Offkey who produces all his music.

He has worked with local bands like Baby Gravy and Smilex who have both created remixes of his tracks as well as the legendary Oxford vocalist Asher Dust who performed with him on Tim Westwood's Radio 1 show.

Since graduating Mr ShaoDow has teamed up with LeeN who is a freestyler who adds an interactive punch to their live performances.

Oxfordshire might not produce as many rappers as it does indie guitar rock bands but the few we do have are top draw. Mr ShaoDow currently sits on the top of the heap.
