Kavka Shishido

Standing up, drumming, and singing lead at the same time sounds simple written down. Almost nobody manages both halves without one of them going soft: either the vocal thins out or the groove turns careless. Kavka Shishido gives up neither. Born in Mexico, she came up through a rock band, went solo in 2012, and released her first album the following year, and although she also models and acts, the drum kit has never stopped being her calling card. That is a real decision. Standing at a kit hides half your face, keeps you from dancing, and denies you the easy charm of centre stage. Because she refused to put the sticks down anyway, the look and the sound became one image. I find that genuinely cool.
