Tshego was born on the 21st of May 1990, in Atlanta, Georgia. Born in the USA by chance as his parents were studying abroad their native continent of Africa, Tshego would frequent South Africa from the age of 4 until he would eventually settle in Mafikeng, South Africa in 2002. He may have been nested in America, but his wings of talent were polished in Mafikeng.

2014 sees the release of Tshego’s debut LP “Since 1990”, a studio quality project that will be released digitally for free. “Since 1990” represents what Tshego feels he has owed the art of music, lovers of music, and himself. Previously composing and releasing under the name “Shag, The Gorilla”, Tshego decided it was time to turn a leaf for the release of his first solo project and drop the high school nickname from his act. Opting instead to use a shortened version of his birth name.

Tshego has been a part of numerous projects in the past, including having enjoyed radio play early on in his career. Several writing/production and feature credits on Sotho Mafia’s “The Prelude” mixtape. A feature on Sun G’s (HashOne) “The Right Way” along side rapper AKA. Production and feature credits on HashOne’s “M4TLT: Mahala 4 The Last Time” mixtape, and currently busy with the album. Production credits on Moneoa’s debut album “Coming From Going To”. Writing/production credits on retailing library music compilations currently being used internationally and more popularly, on South African television network Etv. More recently, a feature on Cassper Nyovest’s debut album “Tsholofelo”.

For all the climates and cities that bring people together, the boys in A R I Z O N A came together as a trio in an apartment in Boston, their makeshift studio the counterweight to the lofty halls of East Coast music scholarship. In a string of infinite sessions during their time at both Berklee College of Music and Emerson College, Nate (guitar) hopped on a session with David (keys) and Zach (vocals), and all the moving pieces came together in a way that would reincarnate itself in many different fashions before eventually becoming the group now known as “A R I Z O N A”.

 The three songwriter/producers from Jersey shared an obsession with the far left, sometimes even obscure side of music, but were even more romanced by the brutal honesty of pop topline and lyrics. Their music - including “I Was Wrong,” “Where I Wanna Be,” “Let Me Touch Your Fire,” and “People Crying Every Night” - creates new shapes and boundaries to span genres, time periods and styles, all focusing on the naked human tropes contained in the traditional pop narrative: love, loss, the need for raw unhinged expression.  

The years and cities came and went, and it took until just last year for these old friends to point their focus finally inward. Thus, the band was formed, and they were no longer just the writers or producers; they were the performers. Over the past few months, the trio’s music has incited an exponentially upward curve of massive fan engagement and early success with tens of millions of streams across Soundcloud, Spotify, YouTube and more. A R I Z O N A joined the social savvy co-conspirators at Atlantic Records and Artist Publishing Group at the close of 2015 and are currently working on their debut album.
They're currently working on their debut EP to be released in 2016.
