MASTER SHORTIE

Master Shortie? Someone’s telling porkies! He’s not a shortie. In fact, he’s fairly tall, actually. However, he is a master… A master of indie/rap pioneering and, most importantly, a master of the moustache. Check out the bad boy under his nose!

Aside from facial hair, young Shortie pants has been tipped as one of 2009’s ones to watch alongside Little Boots, Lady GaGa and Florence and the Machine by the oracle of music predictions, the ‘BBC Sound of…’ list. Yep, things are quite different to how they used to be when only a few years ago, Shortie, a former Brit School attendee, was playing Simba in a West End production of The Lion King.

Master Shortie has since left the boards behind him, but by all accounts he can occasionally be heard to recreate scenes from The Lion King when supporting the likes of Li’l Wayne and creating his own trainers.
