acoustic added fingers main mandolin music record riffs songs texture wrote

I never felt like a boy or a girl, never felt I should wear this or dress like that. I think that's where that confidence comes from because I never felt I had to play a part in my life. I just always come as Shamir.

I want people to listen to my music and everyone to feel included, and I think it's kind of working because all my audiences are always so colorful.

As far as long-term goals, one of my favorite artists ever is Tegan and Sara, because every single one of their albums sounds different. Or Beck. I want to be like that because I come from so many different types of musical backgrounds.
