Hailing from Wellington, Shehatesjacob is rapidly becoming one of New Zealand’s most innovative voices, known for blending rock, hip-hop, and hyperpop into a sound that’s all his own.
His live sets are a high-octane blend of live drums, DJ energy, and raw vocals – a perfect hybrid between electronic chaos and band-driven intensity. With over 1 million Spotify streams and a sold-out headline show at Valhalla, Shehatesjacob is no longer a local secret.
He’s lit up major festivals including CubaDupa and Rhythm and
Vines, and shared stages with artists like Lilbubblegum, Mikeyy, Kamiyada, and Hyan.
Whether on stage or in the studio, Shehatesjacob’s production and engineering skills shine. His sound merges the emotional punch of rock with the polish of modern electronic production – raw yet refined, chaotic yet controlled.
