Journey

Hailing from South Africa, Igshaan Adams, widely recognized by his stage persona Shaan, or affectionately as The Afro Prince, is a testament to musical versatility. Born on December 20, 1994, Shaan's artistic journey commenced when he began singing at just six years old. By age nine, he was already penning lyrics, and at eleven, he experimented with beat production, laying the foundation for his multi-genre approach. Shaan is celebrated for seamlessly fusing Afro-pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, Trap, and EDM, creating a sound reflective of his eclectic musical palate. His early exposure to diverse musical styles is evident in his ability to bridge gaps between these genres, offering listeners a refreshing auditory experience. He turned professional in 2016, quickly gaining traction. His 2019 tracks "Fruity" and "Ndoda" drew substantial streaming numbers and positioned him as a significant talent in the South African music scene. In 2022, his debut project "Thankful" garnered acclaim, particularly for the standout single "Give It," which dominated national airwaves. With the release of "Can't Help It" in 2024, Shaan clinched the top spot on multiple charts, underscoring his growing influence. Through his innovative blend of sounds, Shaan continues to push creative boundaries, establishing a robust presence both locally and internationally.
