Several years ago, SK Shlomo hit a rough patch.
10 years deep into a colourful career, they were an acclaimed beatboxer, a celebrated theatre performer and a well-respected collaborator with the likes of Björk, Gorillaz, Imogen Heap and Rudimental. They had become the first ever World Looping Champion, brought Ed Sheeran onstage as their guest at Glastonbury, been the first non-classical Artist in Residence at London’s Southbank Centre, and even been the subject of a feature film. But something had shifted. In the midst of a deep depression, they stopped performing. Shlomo spent almost two years off the road, recovering what had felt lost.
After a powerful comeback tour, a series of personal revelations changed the way that Shlomo viewed themselves and their work. Shlomo touches on themes they have never previously shared in public, queerness, gender, being foreign, disability and mental health and, ultimately, the healing power of rave.
In this episode they discuss the brilliant work of https://www.thecalmzone.net/
