Shamir is an artist who defies categorization, seamlessly blending genres like pop, rock, and electronic music. With a unique and captivating voice, *Shamir* has garnered a dedicated following for their honest and introspective lyrics. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Cakes da Killa and serpentwithfeet, Shamir's music explores themes of identity, love, and self-discovery.

Known for their energetic live performances and infectious stage presence, *Shamir* has gained recognition for their ability to connect with audiences on a deeply personal level. Their dynamic soundscapes and catchy melodies have earned them comparisons to artists like Vagabon and Jessy Lanza.

In addition to their musical talents, *Shamir* is also known for their activism within the LGBTQ+ community. Through their artistry and advocacy work, they have become an influential figure in promoting inclusivity and acceptance.

Shamir's art is a synthesis of the full spectrum of human emotion; sensual, furious, yearning, joyful. The freedom in his self produced and released Hope, although tethered through style to greats (like Miss Nina Simone, Prince, and Taylor Swift) is based almost entirely in a hyper specific, fully autonomous, embodied expression of personhood. Originally––and somewhat begrudgingly––released via SoundCloud in 2017, Hope was received with the sort of enthusiasm that marks this work as a truly iconic, world building project that only Shamir could have constructed. The original vinyl pressing was quick to sellout, and now, via the venerated label Kill Rock Stars and following its 5 year anniversary, Hope finds itself remastered on color vinyl, in a gatefold jacket and featuring two never-before-heard bonus tracks; marking a maturation all the way from Shamir's bedroom 4-track to platforms available worldwide.
