About Shunda K

Shunda K has dropped the first video from her debut solo album The Most Wanted, out now. The clip, which features Ian Hamrick and  Trillion Galloway, the young stars of the recent MIA and Michael Jackson/Akon videos, recent wrapped shooting under the direction of Steven Andrew Garcia of The Masses (wearethemasses.com). Garcia informs us that the clip also features “…select wardrobe items from legendary fashion designer, Brian Lichtenberg (LINK) who has worked with some amazing artists like Peaches, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, MIA, and many others.

Shunda K’s “I’m Da Best” clip is a direct assault on the Westboro Baptist Church (WIKI) and concerns a young boy who is harassed by his peers, faces even more tension at home and how, with the help of his faith and the support of his role model Shunda K, he overcomes these obstacles to stand tall. The video is Shunda K’s contribution to the ongoing “It Gets Better” Project (itgetsbetter.org) started by famed syndicated sex columnist Dan Savage as a place where young people who are lesbian, gay, bi, or trans can see how love and happiness can be a reality in their future.

Shunda K will represent at SXSW this year by co-headlining the yearly Art Disaster event at Beauty Bar on March 15th.  Over 5000 have already RSVP’d for the event. Additional dates can be found below. Shunda K’s debut solo album The Most Wanted arrives on the heels of two Shunda K mixtapes downloaded thousands of times each, US and Australian dates opening for electro superstar Peaches, a collab on the track and video for the Peaches song “Billionaire”, and the NME naming Shunda K to its “Cool List” and earmarking The Most Wanted’s first single “Here I Am To Save The World” as one of “10 Tracks You Need To Hear”.
