Shatti

Born on 10 March 1978, Shadrack Mogapi, or Shatti to his peers, has been involved with music from a very young age.As a small child, Shatti was inspired by gospel rhythms, grace notes and smoothing harmonies from church, which provoked a strong and barely controllable emotion towards melody of which is still a drive and always will be. Ever since that passion was lit up in his heart, he participated in community and government projects.Most of the experience was obtained while freelancing at Sasolburg (Free State in South africa) with various groups such as VUT choir and local musicians around the area.It is through such groups that Shatti had an opportunity to perform at the annual festival function in Bloemfontein, the Vuka Music Festival and Macufe, and the Soweto festival,
