Lady Shaka (Live)

Blending multiple sounds heavily influenced by music from her own culture, childhood and lived experiences, Lady Shaka will be sharing the stage with a mix of live dancers, percussion and special guests that will make your body shake, siva and vibrate. Lady Shaka is a part of the generation of Māori and Pasifika DJs that are challenging the mainstream with music representative of the Māori and Pasifika experience and this exciting show will be a expression of both her queer identity as a fem queen and her connection to the moana and the diasporas she belongs to.

Lady Shaka was part of Aotearoa's debut on the Boiler Room TV platforms in 2021 with queer collective Filth. Her debut performance was an ode to Pacific Island culture and music, being one of the first Pacific Islanders to DJ on the Boiler Room TV platforms. She has since performed at both the Boiler Room Festival in London, UK and Naarm (Melbourne), Australia with some of her live mixes being the first to be made available on Spatial Audio with Apple Music. She was a judge for the 'Broadcast Lab competition' and was shared as one of the 'Best of 2021' by Boiler Room TV.

In 2019, Lady Shaka founded Pulotu Underworld; London's only club night that celebrates Pacific Island music, culture and artistry in the UK. This club night has now became a global collective that raises awareness of the Pacific; through raising funds to support relief efforts in the Pacific and music events with platforms such as Keep Hush. Lady Shaka is known for her work with queer collectives Pxssy Palace, Misery and Filth and has also worked with artists and brands such as IAMDDB, Stella McCartney, Slamjam, Puma and Ed Curtis. She has featured in Dazed, DJ Mag and Resident Advisor to name a few and has toured across Asia, Australasia, Europe and the UK.
