David Shames is a lyricist born and raised in North West London. Brought up listening to Luther Vandross, Boys II Men, Patra and Johnny Nash. David's hunger for music expanded to the likes of TLC, Missy Elliot, Jamiroquai and the Spice Girls during his early years. 

David didn't understand the inner city mentality but felt connected to his working class roots, which first turned his passionate confusion into street and contemporary dance. Entering nationwide dance competitions, studying performing arts in secondary school and film studies in university; David pushed his way onto the theatrical stage and stood in the spotlight as a hype man for other artists. Soon after he was inspired to write raps of his own. 

Shames' Platonic Adonis EP is an explicit, comical although eyebrow raising social commentary about sex in the media, sex in London and the lack of sex in his life. Referencing the likes of Quentin Crisp, Oscar Wilde and Dizzee Rascal, Shames is the unafraid and unapologetic mirror in the society he has grown up in.

Inspired by 'Wham' and 'Madonna' Shames successfully bridges the gap between rap and pop by spitting over the top lyrics that already has listeners laughing in public and rewinding his songs in disbelief. Shames' extends his musical approach to his personal style. Whether he is wearing a tight belly shirt or his baggy Nike tracksuit he exudes a hip hop confidence and presence that is reminiscent of artists like Jay Z.

Already working on his second EP Shames is determined to raise the musical standards and expectations of black rappers and rap in general. He will not be ignored.

"We do not make music for cool people", David Shames.
