Growing up, Shadow took up the tomboy’s behaviour and was known to engage in activities other girls considered too daring. For example, she often played ball with the boys in her neighbourhood. So it didn’t come as a big shock to her parents when she announced to them that she wanted to make music. 

Shadow_001‘s journey into music started from listening to highlife, Pop, Afrobeats and Hip-hop songs. However, she took more interest in Igbo rap, which she felt was better to express her creativity. Moreover, she preferred rapping in her mother tongue to doing rap songs in English.
