BIO:
Shamik hears music in his head and uses beatboxing to bring it to life. His crushing basslines, crisp rhythms, and a'cappella DJ sets have captivated audiences in 13 countries and every major Canadian city from coast to coast. In the past 2 years Shamik toured with Method Man & Redman, Q-Bert, Bassnectar, Sub Swara, Tanya Tagaq, Kentaro, Mike Relm, Beats Antique, and Lexie Lee. He has also performed with various bands including Thievery Corporation, Delhi 2 Dublin, Oka, Ganga Giri, Pacific Curls, and Enter the Haggis. Festival highlights include Rothbury (USA), Shambhala, Vancouver Island Musicfest (Canada), Sunburn (India), Colours of Ostrava (Czech Republic), and Dubplate (Philippines). 2009 marks the busiest year in his career after performing all over North America, Asia, and Australia... alongside international talent such as Marky, Benga, N-Type, Fort Knox Five, Mat The Alien, Lighta!, Mihirangi, Nickodemus, Excision, Greenlaw, and Maestro Fresh Wes. This year Shamik also beatboxed with 12-time Grammy winning dobro player, Jerry Douglas (Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?). As Shamik continues to spread the artform of his vocal percussion, he looks forward to recording more music, touring, and working with artists along the way.
