As a Ugandan refugee amidst the Idi Amin influence, moving continents not only ensured Shabs’ safety but allowed him to get his big breakthrough DJ-ing at house parties and club nights. Shabs is now the founder and MD of Relentless Records. He serves as an empowering voice that champions diversity whether through talent and music or through his efforts to recruit and retain a workforce that is inclusive. In 2020, Shabs was involved in Sony’s company celebrations for South Asian Heritage Month. Shabs also co-owns the Notting Hill Arts Club: an academy that aims to showcase young local talent and create a space for future creative pioneers, entrepreneurs, innovators and leaders within the music industry. The academy offers vocational courses to get young people into the sector, supporting them to learn all the elements of the fast-changing music industry, to receive professional advice and mentoring, and to make contacts.
