Shadoe is a Baltimore-born, Florida-based producer, engineer and artist who writes, produces, mixes and masters everything he releases. Mentored by Bruce Swedien, the engineer behind Michael Jackson's Thriller, he moves through hip-hop, electronic music, post-punk, reggae and dub. His 2025 album State of Static was followed by more than twenty singles, including "Kill Switch" with Twiztid's Jamie Madrox and "BLACK SHADES."

Producer, engineer and artist Shadoe handles every stage of his dark, genre-blurring records himself, from writing and production to mixing and mastering. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, and based in Florida, he began making music at age 12 and had been recording for years by the time Bruce Swedien, the famed engineer behind Michael Jackson's Thriller, became his mentor. His early albums drew millions of streams, and the 2022 song "Party Time," a collaboration with actor Peter Dante and Death Row Records keyboardist Ronnie King, reached number three on the iTunes reggae chart. Shadoe then pulled those albums from streaming services and started over, re-emerging in 2025 with the album State of Static and a run of more than twenty singles, among them "Lethal Dose" with Spaggy G, "Kill Switch" featuring Twiztid's Jamie Madrox, and September 2026's "BLACK SHADES." He also DJs, with sets that pull from every genre.

Shadoe is an American producer, engineer, and artist who writes, produces, mixes, and masters everything he releases, moving through hip-hop, electronic music, post-punk, reggae, and dub. Born in Baltimore in 1989 and based in Florida, he has been making music since he was 12.

He studied under Bruce Swedien, the five-time Grammy winner behind Michael Jackson's Thriller. Countless conversations with Bruce and his wife, Bea, covered making records and engineering them, and whole sessions went into breaking down Shadoe's own songs to find what could be better. The advice that stuck with him most was simple: follow your heart.

His earlier albums amassed millions of streams, and 2022's "Party Time", cut with actor Peter Dante and Ronnie King, the Death Row keyboardist who played on records for 2Pac, Snoop Dogg, and Mariah Carey, hit No. 3 on the iTunes reggae chart behind only Bob Marley and Ini Kamoze.

Then he deleted the entire catalog and started over.

The 2025 relaunch brought State of Static, followed by a steady run of singles, including "Kill Switch" with Twiztid's Jamie Madrox, machine titles from an artist who had just rebooted himself. He also DJs, with sets that pull from every genre. New collaborations are in motion.
