SHIVA ALI
As his press release says:" Shiva Ali is an artist from Sherman, Tx that was born in 1993. Never fitting in growing up, Shiva secluded himself from most people and spent the majority of his time alone. Growing through life, it wasn't until Summer 2013 Shiva truly found himself through weekly psychedelic experiences. Learning the innermost parts of his brain, Shiva realized the influence behind his mind and how he can change the world. Using music to do so, Shiva expresses his intimate smoked out feelings through creative ways that gives our ears a refreshing sound that is a new age of weird. "
Known as an artist with a twisted sense of humor, I had a chance to ask him some questions about his life and music!
1) Where did he get his start in music?
I got my start in music in a dorm room in San Marcos, Tx after taking LSD my first time.
2) How does he create his music? Who is his producer?
I smoke a lot of weed until I get super stoned and then I just start vibing to the music and it comes out organically. Right now I work primarily with Guziec from Poland, she produced all of my D.E.A.T.H. UNIXORN project and DrazenC from Tacoma, Washington, we have a project coming out later this year.
3) Does he perform live? Does he have a show coming up?
Performing is my strongest suit as a music artist I feel. I have a show in San Marcos, Tx on July 23rd at Wake the Dead Coffee House.
4) Did he always wanted to be a Hip-Hop performer?
Performing is my strongest suit as a music artist I feel. I have a show in San Marcos, Tx on July 23rd at Wake the Dead Coffee House.
5) What does his music mean to and for him?
Freedom. Lostness. For me it's like guidance through an unknown/known world that people think they have figured out. But there's too much for us to figure it all out so we get what we can and do what we can with what we have, but there is always more... always. And a shit ton of fun.
6) Future plans?
My future plans. I have a lot. Going on a world tour for sure. Getting rid of all the lame ass fake weirdo's in the industry. Opening art/spiritual schools. Have my own strain of cannabis to name a few.
