Sham Shirley — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:25:06 +0000

A.CHAL – Roses on Your Silhouette. Underground DJ/producer A.Chal has been of mystique throughout his music career. An obscure figure far from hubris, he plays the background while letting the music speak volumes. That said, his role as a music producer has garnered high praise amongst his peers, more recently with fashion house Ralph Lauren where he’s been active as music director in past campaigns. Today, he shares with us an embodiment of all things experienced formed into one “video single” to give viewers an added effect. via source

Invested Listener: Ronnie “RO” James – “Creep” (Radiohead Cover)

Sham Shirley — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:35:33 +0000

Singer-songwriter Ronnie “Ro” James releases the official music video for his Radiohead cover of “Creep”. The clip was directed by Antonie M. Gamboa and produced by Cass Maya. When asked what separates him from the next talented male vocalist, “They don’t feel like I feel when I perform. I feel that it is my duty to reacquaint the world with music and what its mission is. Music is made to teach, to heal and to provide hope. Music is not a gimmick and it is not a trend. Neither am I. I don’t think that there are many others that can truly say the same and live by that philosophy.” What you think of this soulful rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep?” For more info on Ro James visit: http://www.rojames.com/

Models Only Club: LateBoots Future Face Dudley O’Shaughnessy’

Sham Shirley — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 14:32:54 +0000

And the audience just applauded. A TKO for Next Model Management, who scouted once boxer now turned model Dudley O’Shaughnessy, off the streets of East London at the age of 19. ‘I was with my mum, and a woman came up and asked if I was interested in modelling,’ he says. ‘I didn’t really know what it was about at first, but I went to the agency and they signed me up.’ Since signing, the now 21 year-old hailing from Canning Town is a rising star in the world of fashion–standing 6ft with his green eyes and high cheekbones. You know what charm is? A way of getting the answer ‘Yes’ without having asked any clear question. O’Shaughnessy doesn’t need permission, but nod your head yes to our pick for fashion’s future face. *Interview with Dudley O’Shaughnessy by Cecilie Harris inside*

The Sky Club Welcomes: Yacht Remix

Sham Shirley — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:02:28 +0000

From the bodies of water behind the hustle and the drain bustle of New York come the healing weekends on the Lake. Cocktail Cove we call it. And if you’re wild you might take a ride with Albert on his sexy speed boat. He’s a manic and that’s nothing to him. So I held on tight and left my drink on the boat. I like the view from the place, centered lake, can we take this ride slow? He said, “no.” Just to kick it is a blessing. A perfect cross fade into the week and a slide for homebase out of summer. The best way to open your mind is to apply a jolt of unfamiliarity. Build time for wandering into any trip and watch what happens. The next well calculated gem will appear soon.

Thank you Brenda for a funky time,

Sham Shirley
