Shao Dow

Shao Dow

Rapper, Manga Author, and occasional Ninja—Shao Dow (Rhymes with “Wow Bro”). He creates music inspired by anime and gaming but written for the soundtrack of life. The closest thing you'll ever meet to a real-life anime character, Shao travelled solo to China to train with monks in Shaolin Kung Fu, he taught himself Japanese and now raps skilfully in two languages. A fiercely independent artist, Shao creates powerful, genre-blending music built on infectious hooks and razor-sharp lyricism. He was selected as the official England representative for the UK’s National Day at Expo 2025 in Osaka, and invited to perform for the Japanese ambassador at the Embassy of Japan in London. Shao Dow’s music has featured in 'Fortnite' and has been used by games 'God of War' and 'Borderlands 4' as well as Amazon Prime Video for the Arsenal documentary. He also writes the music for the popular One Jump Man vs Shaggy Ball Z animated series. When it comes to performing, Shao delivers an unforgettable stage show — mixing high-energy music and Kung Fu for an experience unlike any other, continuing to prove that independence, musical excellence, and Anime Protagonist Energy can go hand in hand.
