Shahiem, born Shahiem Bruintjies, is a South African singer, songwriter and musician. Music has always been a large part of his life, coming from a musical and artistic family. He was inspired to be a part of the music industry by the likes of Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, Charlie Puth and Ed Sheeran. Shahiem is a self-taught musician, having taught himself how to sing and play guitar.

The music of Shahiem is inspired by love and can be considered quite likeable. His creative process starts with the making of the instrumental/beat, then finding himself mumbling some gibberish to get the melody for the song, and lastly having obtained the melody, the lyrics is then finally written. His main inspiration is his girlfriend. He admires Michael Jackson and his one message to his fans is to always believe in themselves, as others will follow and also believe in them. His fans are loyal, passionate and amazing supporters.

Shahiem has had the opportunity to perform in front of a huge audience at his high school modeling

show. His best performance was at this show, as he was one of the opening performers. He has not yet travelled far places, but believes he would handle it well once the opportunity presents itself. His style has evolved since the beginning of his career, as he is continuously learning and growing as an artist.

When he is not creating music, Shahiem enjoys playing chess, football and billiards. He balances his music and other obligations, such as school and family, quite well by ensuring that time is made for all corners of his life. His plans for the coming months are to release music while tending to his studies and also participate in artistic collaborations.
