Reading 2009

Master Shortie

MASTER SHORTIE – rapper, entrepreneur, samplemeister, indie/rap pioneer and musical trail-blazer - is a man who always gets what he wants. A self-made 19-year-old artist who simply doesn’t play by anyone’s rules but his own, Theo Kerlin has been recording raps off his own back and without any major label backing since he was 12 and is totally in charge of all of his own promotion, record releases, styling and marketing. Tipped in the BBC Sound of 2009 poll, it is little wonder that the SUNDAY TIMES CULTURE praised his mix of rap, ‘1980s synth pop, Brit-hop, funk, grime and techno’ in emphasising that all should ‘Watch this one’.
