Music producer SENSE (Daniel Tiuri Wils) was born as the son of a shaman and initiated into mystical traditions like Sufism from an early age. He connected with his own personal deities – like the wolf – which would later become the foundation for the imagery in SHAHMEN recordings. Rapper BLESS (Brandon Lee Stratton, 1985) traveled from Los Angeles to Amsterdam to record an album with SENSE. His gangster rap-like delivery, deep voice, and incredible flow complement SENSE’s mystical sounds and banging drum tracks perfectly. Their single “Mark” has millions of plays on streaming services like Youtube and Spotify, which earned SHAHMEN a solid place in hip-hop history, and gave birth to fanatic cult-following around the world.
