BIOGRAPHY
Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph (born 22 October 1992), addressed professionally as 21 Savage, is a talented British rapper, singer, and songwriter living in the United States.
He is admired not only for his musical prowess but also for his remarkable rise to fame from being a street-level minor offender. He is a well-known teen icon today. He first engaged in drug peddling when he was just 14 years old.
21 Savage entered the music business very late, in 2013, when he was 21 years old. He started recording at the famed Patchwerk Studios after investing the money he had made throughout his years living on the streets.
Key!, a well-known rapper who was instrumental in Atlanta’s hip-hop scene’s grassroots movement, soon became interested in him. He received career advice from Key! and was introduced to music producers eager to invest in a young but potent voice.
So, former minor offender Shayaa transformed into rapper “21 Savage” and released songs like Drip, No Heart, Red Opps, and Woah, which were massive hits and brought in millions of dollars.
Some artists 21 Savage has worked with include Gucci Mane, Young Thug, T.I, Playboy Carti, Metro Boomin, Future, Drake, and Meek Mill. He is currently associated with the Sony Music Entertainment-owned label Epic Records. He is referred to as “Hip-realest hop’s rapper” by the website “DJ Booth.”
