Repent  Change - Sleepylaflare x Bentley

Paris Shields, (Born August 18th 1993) known by the stage name and Hebrew name Shadayawar. Developed a passion for music from a young age. He found a coping mechanism by writing his thoughts on paper, which eventually turned into poems and music. He grew up listening to Tupac Shakur, Eazy E, Eminem, and Soulja Boy. However, it wasn't until he started listening to Tupac that he felt inspired to express his pain on paper, and Soulja Boy motivated him to take his music further and make it in the industry.

Over time, Shadayawar became a part of a music group in high school called The Swagg Boyz, which later transformed into Sap-Squad with his cousin King Sap and brother Cash. They performed all around Cincinnati and Ohio and were nominated for group awards at The Ohio Hip Hop Awards in 2015.

As time passed, Shadayawar started to lose his passion for club music and desired to address more serious topics that his community was facing. This led him to watch Hidden Colors Films and learn about Hebrew Israelites. Eventually, he gained knowledge of the truth through a close friend and fellow truth music artist, Matazadach, when they both attended Job Corps. This revelation came after experiencing multiple episodes of sleep paralysis and being attacked by demons in his sleep.

Shadayawar soon met up with Ahch Chaakam, whom he had known since they were children, but they became closer after Chaakam was released from jail and wanted to change his life. Chaakam reached out to Shadayawar on Facebook after seeing him feed the homeless, which eventually led to Chaakam receiving the truth and them making music together, becoming brothers in Christ.

In 2016, Shadayawar joined The Gathering Of Christ Church (GOCC) and was baptized in 2017. It was at the church where he met his wife, Adryan, and they have a daughter named Yara. Unfortunately, Shadayawar lost his mother, Robin Taylor, in 2021 after she devoted her life to Ahayah. This brought him comfort during dark times.

Shadayawar now has over 5 Solo Albums: Life After Death (2020), No Matter What (2020), Better Than The World (2021), We Can't Stop Keep Going (2023), and Just Something Different (2023), and 6 Joint Mixtapes with Chaakam, his younger brother Rakim Taylor (Bentley), and Cousin King Sap: QAM (2017), The Valley Of Dry Bones (2018), #APTTMH (2019), Judah Wear (2020), Momma Robin Dedicated to his mother (2021), The Lost Files (2022), and over 200 singles and features with other artists as of August 2023.

Shadayawar is currently the head of outreach for his church in Cincinnati and working on being a father.
