Nerdcore Profile: Shao Dow

Shao Dow is an award-winning rapper, manga author, and occasional ninja.

After studying Shaolin Kung Fu with the monks whilst living in China, he utilized the tenacity and determination he learned from his martial arts training to independently forge his music career.

Known to rap in both English and Japanese, Shao is hard to define as just a regular artist. He constantly blurs the lines between anime, gaming, martial arts, and his own music and has worked with icons such as Sean Schemmel (the voice actor for Goku – Dragon Ball Z) and featured on the first single from Tech N9ne’s Asin9ne album.

When it comes to performing live, Shao delivers an unforgettable stage show. Mixing skillful lyricism, infectious beats, and Kung Fu, he creates an unparalleled live experience. He was nominated for ‘Best Live Performer’ at The AIM Independent Music Awards 2022 and won the Hardest Working Artist Award and Music Artist of the Year in 2017.

He has opened for Tech N9ne, R.A The Rugged Man, KRS-One, Stormzy, 6LACK, Skepta, and more, has performed at Reading and Leeds festivals, and toured the UK, Europe, the USA, and Asia.

A truly unique Fire in the Booth with Charlie Sloth is the jewel in the crown of a plethora of radio shows, including Radio 1, 1xtra, Capital Xtra, and BBC 6 Music.
