Originally, this project started Scott Xylo, a British producer & Songwriter of Jamaican descent befriended Welsh guitarist Adam Martin (ADEEMUS) whilst working together at a coffee shop in Leicester, UK. The duo originally teamed up to work on new Scott Xylo material, but they would eventually add Irish-Nigerian vocalist Demigosh after meeting at a gig in late 2019.

Officially being a trio since February of this year, Shadeemus has already put out one 5-track EP called Arakis in June, as well as a couple of singles since that release.

I caught up with the Scott Xylo and Adam Martin via Zoom and we talk about what starting new project in the midst of a global pandemic looks like, as well as how not allowing themselves to be put in a defined genre gives the group the freedom to really push the envelope and get weird with whatever they are working on.

Here’s my chat with Scott and Adam of Shadeemus.
