With special guests Kiya Vance & Moon Jazz.
David Shabani returns to House of Rock for a headlining show after an incredible performance at our 19th Anniversary. His Alternative Hip-Hop, fused with Texas soul and R&B, makes listeners want to keep coming back for more.
Shabani’s sound brings together early 2000s-style hip hop with classic soul and R&B. The lyrics are poignant and optimistic all at once, delivered as fast-paced bars over soulful melodies. The result dually satisfies the late night thrill seeker with club pounding rhythms, and the idle listener with lyrics that flow in a story-like format.
Born to Congolese parents in Paris, Shabani immigrated to Canada before launching alternative hip-hop artistry in Texas. Never idle, his sound has taken over stages at home and abroad alongside The Lox, Ashanti, Blxst, Asher Roth, D Smoke, and others with his band, The Nu Leopards, a tribute to his Congolese roots.
