Shock Contender

UK-based Soul, Jazz-Funk, and Fusion artist shaped by early British funk inspirations like Jamiroquai and Level 42, later blending Japanese Fusion and City-Pop influences, including Casiopea, T-Square, and Toshiki Kadomatsu.

Featuring soulful vocals influenced by Stevie Wonder, Michael McDonald and Daryl Hall, with groove-driven songwriting inspired by Earth, Wind & Fire, Toto, and classic AOR/West Coast records. The project is entirely written, recorded, produced, and performed solo, combining live-feel instrumentation with melodic synth work and deep pocket slap basslines at the forefront.
