ABOUT SHU:



Out to create his own brand of popular, progressive soul, yet grounded in classic songwriting and structure, this young but accomplished musician and solo artist has been accumulating fans and gaining industry credibility with his heartfelt, powerful shows, and award-winning songwriting, named BOTH the Grand Prize Winner AND Finalist (runner-up) in the prestigious John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and recognized twice as a top songwriter in the Billboard Songwriting Contest. In addition, Shu and his hardworking team have built a name for themselves on the New York scene as forward-thinking musical entrepreneurs, independently selling almost 4,000 copies of Shu's first release ("Shusic"), and embracing the "post-label" age with vigor by going digital, and aggressive pursuing licensing and partnership opportunities for Shu's latest single, "Beautiful & Broken"



What critics are saying about SHU:



"[Shusic is] without qualitative dips when it comes to songwriting, making it one of the strongest male indie releases so far this year. In fact, it's so good and the guy is so obviously talented, you'll be amazed it isn't on a major."

- Echoes - The UK's Essential Black Music Monthly



"Shu is a soulful, organic, original voice on the music scene. He has the ability to reach the intellectual, sophisticated listener and the down home crowd. His [work is] soulful, honest and provocative . . ."

- Kody Emmanuel, Producer - WBAI Radio



"Soul singer Shu's sound has been dubbed "a little bit Stevie Wonder, a

little bit Marvin Gaye," but he's determined to blaze his own musical

path. "

- Samira Nanda - Reuters News Network



"Outstanding lyrics and originality . . . [his influences] blend and clash in Shu's music without robbing it of its individuality . . . [Shu is] in a class of his own . . ."

- The Daily Nation



"If R&B softens you up and Funk starts you to grinding then the two of them together makes a smooth and lively ride. Shu's got plenty of catchy grooves, rhythms that make everything else melt away, and a fresh appeal that won't be fading anytime soon."
