"Simon Shlomo Kahn knows how it feels to be on top of the world. For over a decade, the genre-defying, award-winning, recording-breaking beatboxer, producer and live-looper has set new standards for his craft.
As Shlomo, he burst into the mainstream collaborating with Björk and performing with famous fans from Damon Albarn, Lily Allen and Jarvis Cocker to Imogen Heap, Martha Wainwright and Rudimental. As the first ever World Looping Champion, he taught his friend Ed Sheeran some tricks. He became the first non-classical Artist in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre, played the main stages at Glastonbury more times than he remembers, won rave reviews for his autobiographical one-man shows and even had a feature film made about him. But staying on top becomes increasingly tricky to maintain. Despite the standing ovations and the accolades, he would feel oddly empty inside. Three years ago, he took a step back to work out what he wanted and his world seemed to crumble under his feet. “I’d always been incredibly driven,” says the London-born musician, now back as solo artist SK Shlomo, “but ultimately that was at the expense of my mental health.” Behind his reinvention lies a realisation – that throughout his 20s, despite composing and producing for other artists, as well as for film and commercials, he had resisted becoming the solo recording artist he desperately wanted to be for fear of failure. Last summer, determined to change, he set himself a challenge – to write a song every day for a month. For the first five days, he delivered. Then things ground to a painful halt, triggering a mental breakdown which led to six months in therapy. Diagnosed with PTSD, he was forced to confront his past. “Talking about a major trauma from my childhood was a huge turning point,” he says. “That’s when I realised what this album was about. It’s called Surrender because that’s all the traumatised me could ever do - surrender, let go and trust. It’s empowering, stopping trying to control everything around you.” To learn more about Shlomo visit: https://skshlomo.com/  This new year's eve we are delighted to be partnering with the Rave to the Moon team. The fantastic NYE lineup will keep you entertained all night.
Legendary beatboxer SK Shlomo has booked huge DJs like Felix (Basement Jaxx), Nitin Sawhney, Radio 1’s Arielle Free and loads more for a charity livestream that will be out of this world Just like a sponsored walk or a marathon, you can choose ANY charity to support, except it’s a RAVE-A-THON: all our step counts will be combined in real time using our app partner Sweatcoin, and we’re aiming for a global total of 577M steps - roughly the distance from Earth To The Moon!
