With dynamic talent laced with a spicy flavor, unique style, and a rich cultural background Shifta is an artist that cannot go unnoticed. Widely recognized and rated internationally for his lyrical caliber and intoxicating charisma, his hot mix cds, electrifying music videos, and explosive performances have been taking the music world by storm for the past couple years.
Shifta’s introspective discovery of music took place at a very young age. Shifta’s father, Daddy Fras aka Piper of Piper Records, gave some of Jamaica’s most prevalent names their first record cuts. With this vast exposure to these many great talents, Shifta gravitated toward the local reggae and dancehall scene, which continued upon his migration to Miami. Shifta’s passion for music drove him to begin writing and recording music with local producers and artists; thus, his relentless pursuit resulted in attracting the attention of not only the local market, but the grassroots following of the dancehall as well. While his outstanding leadership skills spawned the "Fras Krew", a group of individuals working together to create a portfolio of razor sharp talent with innovative business expertise.
Shifta knew though that before he could create the Caribbean entertainment movement he had envisioned, he would first need to capture the hearts and support of the core market of reggae and dancehall music; Jamaica. He made the pivoting decision to re-locate back to Jamaica and build the force behind him from the streets of one the toughest entertainment industries in the world. Shifta thus utilized every recording opportunity that came his way, garnering a name for himself on a broader scale while also establishing his Timeless brand of music in the dancehall community. Shifta's three most attention grabbing tracks to date are "Ganja Shop", "Jamaica" & "Like Dis Before (Ring Off Mi Phone)", all which were featured on many music charts around the globe along with music videos that have been featured on Hype TV, RETV and various other top 10 countdowns in Jamaica and worldwide in addition to BET J. This led to Shifta performing in numerous concerts and television programs throughout the US and Caribbean. Also traveling abroad on tour to Europe, Africa, & Asia, where he has been widely embraced by countless fans.
Still very young, the 24-year-old describes his style as true dancehall with a touch of hip hop influence. Shifta explains, "My style is a bit different, but I am also capable of material the hardcore dancehall fans love and respect. My aim is to send a positive message to the youth around the world. Im an innovative artisteand entrepreneur; I appreciate every artist in the local and international Caribbean music community."
"The world will appreciate and embrace all that is Shifta and allow me the opportunity to bring what success I have had, to the less fortunate in social upliftment; past, present, & future." In addition to his advances as an artist, Shifta has managed to start his own Entertainment Company (Timeless Entertainment), clothing-line (Timeless Gear), and non-profit organization (Timeless Association). With operations in existence for five and half years, all three of these ventures have had tremendous success in Miami, Jamaica, and Europe.
