Bio

Shakar a.k.a @TheRealShakar is a vocalist, actor, poet and writer from Brooklyn, NY. He is best known for his acapella YouTube video covers of Rhythm & Blues and
Popular songs. His YouTube channel has 124 subscribers and his videos have over 15,900 views collectively, to date, without any major buzz or push. Shakar's cover of Tony Terry's "With You" got a co-sign from the man himself, in January of 2016, when Tony Terry commented "Good job bro."

Shakar has been creating music since the age of 12. He started writing his own songs at the age of 21, after a major break up and first real dose of heartbreak. Shakar is teaching himself to play several instruments, by ear, including the drums, keyboard, acoustic and bass guitar. While he always says, "I wish I could really play these instruments," he's managed to record over 100 demos but, has not put any music out officially. When asked about the music, he simply replies, "I'd love to work with musicians, producers and writers who are talented, extremely conscious and responsible. I am aware of the power and influence of music. So, I'll keep creating and experimenting until I can stand in front of a work worth putting out. Until then, I'll keep covering great music!"

Shakar has performed on stages and at open mics all over NYC from Milk River in Brooklyn at The Legends Concert Series to BB Kings in Times Square at The Soul Factory to Amateur Night at the Apollo. He recently won the Apollo's Making a star competition and performed on the world famous stage in September 2016. Shakar made his stage-acting debut in the off-Broadway stage play/musical "Life Insurance" in December 2016.

Shakar is currently pursuing a career as a Lead, Background Vocalist and/or Front Man for the right Singing Group, in Studio Recordings, Tribute, Wedding and/or Corporate gigging Band. Stay tuned....
