Shirazee

Biography

Paolo Prudencio popularly known as Shirazee was just a kid growing up in the West African country of Benin when his music-loving mom played Sting’s 1988 hit song, “Englishman in New York,” at home. Inspired by Sting’s iconic song, he began composing his own version he called “African in New York.” And Sting gave Shirazee his blessing.

Shirazee is an artist who’s been steadily carving his own space in Africa’s crossover era but at his own pace. The Beninese crooner and songwriter have come a long way before his 2017 banger “Iguana“ and his most recent Michael Brun collab, “Soweto,“ was on your radar.
