Shlomo

Musician

Shlomo joined Cape Farewell on the 2008 Disko Bay Expedition, visiting the spectacular Disko Bay area of West Greenland with over 40 international artists, journalists and scientists.

Shlomo has joined Cape Farewell in a series of events since the expedition including Late at Tate, Latitude Festival and the Eden Sessions.

Beatbox artist Shlomo became internationally recognised after his work with Icelandic superstar Bjork was nominated for a Grammy. Shlomo’s beats were then used as the theme to the Athens Olympics, with the Opening Ceremony performance reaching an estimated audience of 4.5 billion worldwide.
