The Santiago born, Chicago raised Shevy O’shea has ascended to international stardom in the span of just a few years. With music that combines afrobeat, dancehall, r&b, and classic soul, his eclectic style is quickly becoming a niche in and of itself. Enduring a troubled home life, and the absence of his father, Shevy was still able to excel at both music and school. He even taught himself to play all the instruments in his repertoire. While he earned a scholarship to study biology, in hopes of becoming a surgeon, a series of unfortunate events forced him to drop. It became clear to Shevy that if he were to attain the success he longed for, music was the path forward.
On ‘#RihannaMove’, you can tell Shevy has already mastered the craft of designing a modern pop anthem. Clocking in at less than two minutes, it’s short, sweet, and supremely entertaining for every second of its runtime — the ideal combination in the TikTok era. The tune grounds itself in infectiously groovy afrobeat and dancehall production to create a more universal anthem. With artists world over now embracing the increasingly global afrobeat style, Shevy’s style is only bound to increase in popularity in the months to come. It’s already not hard to imagine #RihannaMove being the background to thousands of reels.
Now based in LA, Shevy is quickly rising to the mainstream. If you’re looking to hop on a bandwagon before everyone and anyone is already on it, Shevy O’shea is the man. #RihannaMove is charts bound, mark my words.
