Little Stranger

Born and raised in Philly, crash landed in Charleston, Kevin and John Shields are breaking into previously uncharted waters with their quirky indie hip-hop group, Little Stranger. Between John’s melodic singer-songwriter magnetism, Kevin’s in-your-face delivery, and an overall undeniable groove, this duo is sure to get any audience up and moving. Stylistically similar to the Gorillaz but with a loose reggae beat, every track brings the uniqueness and strangeness that their name implies.

Kevin and John Shields bring years of experience to the table. Throughout the course of their careers, they’ve opened for artists like Slightly Stoopid, Papadosio, B.O.B., The Movement and Del the Funkee Homosapien.

After their inception in 2016, Little Stranger was named “Hip Hop Artist of the Year” in 2016 and 2017, and listed jointly as “17 People to Watch in 2017” in the indie Charleston blog “Out of the Woodwork”. They’ve since toured all across the continental United States, constantly growing their fanbase along the way. With an ever increasing arsenal of new tunes, Little Stranger is poised to make 2020 another off the backboard slam dunk.
