MCShakespear

My name is Shakes AKA Mc Shakespear, a tag name given to me by a youth worker in a youth club in Hackney after winning a freestyle battle. I’m involved with a team called Da Realist Entertainment which consists of a few DJs and MCs and we participate in mainly urban club nights around the UK. Istarted off as a DJ on little pirate stations in and around London areas and I went under the name, DJ Flexy. I always wanted to contribute to the music scene, as I felt and believed that the love I had for music was beyond the fact of just being a fan of good music. Since the age of 12 I’d always wanted to be involved with music production or become an artist that could make music that the masses could relate to. Recently I’ve teamed up with some of the UK’s finest producers to generate a musical style that has helped me develop as an artist and stands out with a unique musical sound and style. In June 2010 I released my debut single ‘Weekend’ produced by Moky from StayFresh, which brought awareness to the public about who I am and what I’m about. This single is the first single that shows how I’ve developed from just a grime MC, to an established artist.
