BIOGRAPHY

Falé Christian Djérianémé Marc-Alexandre, better known as Shado Chris, is an award-winning Ivorian singer, producer, and label owner whose skill is well-known throughout West Africa and beyond. Shado Chris was born in 1987 in Cocody, an Abidjan suburb, and is recognized for his dynamic mix of hip-hop, R&B, and dance music-infused pop.

Shado Chris grew up in Ferkessédougou, where he developed an early interest in music, particularly rap music. Michael Jackson, 2Pac, DDf 15-49, and Stezo are a few of the artists who influenced him.

He joined a local choir at the age of 15 and began developing his vocal abilities as well as teaching himself how to compose music on his computer.

He has a bachelor’s degree in telecommunications engineering.

Metizik, his self-produced debut, was released in 2008, and the process led to him opening his own recording studio. Gradually, he gained notoriety, and he was soon producing records for a slew of local musicians, including forming the Kiff No Beat band. More collaborations followed, including DJ Lewis, Debordo Doliziana, Bamba Ami Sarah, DJ Moasco, DJ Mareshal, Force One, and others.
