Theo Kerlin aka Master Shortie started rapping when he was only 12 years old and ever since he has been in charge of all his own promotion, record releases, styling and marketing. He produces his own adolescent hip-hop songs all about experiences with girls and his hatred of being stereotyped, indulging his love of electronica, rap and indie to create a brand of alternative hip-hop all unique and his own. From the moment Master Shortie appeared on stage the whole crowd was in a dance frenzy. It is clear the man has outstanding stage presence and knows exactly how to get a crowd moving. He played an excellent set incorporating a range of his signature electro indie hip hop with witty lyrics and varying themes. Including the fan’s favourite tracks, Dance Like A White Boy and Dead End. Both of these songs portray his views on life and how he loves to dance. As the music ripples through you, Shortie is jumping around the stage with an extraordinary amount of energy and passion. By the last few songs it is apparent that the crowd wants so much more from the master himself and fans are jumping all over each other to try and get a sweaty handshake.

On this performance Master Shortie proves himself to be a unique artist with a impressive bunch of tracks in the bag, and hopefully we will be hearing a lot more from him.
