“When you allow rhythm, melody and passion to take over your body and direct its movement, you don’t end up with just a dance, you create an experience, and that’s what I give to you when I perform- The Shakes Experience.”

Shayxxes started writing the moment he learned to hold a pencil and was crowned the 2nd best junior writer in his first year at high school, Mfantsipim School, the same place he got the name “Shayxxes” which is actually the short form of Shakespeare, a name reserved for the best in English language and conferred on him by his classmates due to his depth with words and rhyming skills.
