Shay D: Women Make Music
Hailing from the stomping grounds of North London, this lyricist brings inspiration from her upbringing in the city to the core of her sound. This pioneering artist is not afraid to break boundaries, empowering women through her songs as well as her youth work outside of music, leading the first ever all female Hip Hop tour in the UK, bringing women together to wave the flag in 2019 & 2020, selling out her London headline show.
She effortlessly crosses genres, from Grime to Hip Hop to Spoken Word, with her fiery delivery and unapologetic lyricism, infamous for her high energy performances. Shay D independently featured in Music Week’s Tastemaker’s album of the month and was the only female finalist in Redbull Music’s international TV production ‘The Cut’ released in March 2020, with two of her releases featuring on both BBC Radio 1, Huw Stephens playlist and specialist 1xtra DJ & producer, Sir Spyro’s show.
Described as ‘the hardest woman in Hip Hop’, Shay D has been merging her music with brands from Nike, Harvey Nichols, Redbull, Serato and Swarovski. Shay D has an exciting year ahead in 2021. Shay D is releasing an exciting grime and hip hop infused EP capturing the sound of growing up with the duality of Persian heritage and British culture. There will be a live intimate show to perform the new works.
