Biography

[edit | edit source]

Shawn Wasabi was born in Salinas, California.[5] He was born to Filipino parents, with his father from Manila, and his mother from Cebu.[5] At a young age, he learned piano.[5]

In 2013, Shawn Wasabi started producing music after his friend left the Midi Fighter 3D at his house.[10] Since then, he has uploaded his live mashups, which have all garnered millions of views on YouTube.[10]

In 2015, he released "Marble Soda", using a Midi Fighter 64.[11] It contains samples from 153 different tracks and sounds.[12] The video for the song reached 1 million views on YouTube within 48 hours of being uploaded.[13]

In 2016, he was nominated for the Breakthrough Artist award at the 6th Streamy Awards.[14][15]

In 2017, he released "Spicy Boyfriend".[16] In that year, he also released "Otter Pop", which featured guest vocalist Hollis.[17] The Fader placed it at number 27 on the "101 Best Songs of 2017" list.[18]

In 2018, he released "Squeez", which featured guest vocalist Raychel Jay.[19] The song was included on Paper's "10 Songs You Need to Start Your Weekend Right" list,[20] as well as The Fader's "20 Best New Pop Songs Right Now" list.[6]

His debut studio album, Mangotale, was released in 2020.[21]

Midi Fighter 64

[edit | edit source]

One of Shawn Wasabi's equipment is the DJ TechTools Midi Fighter 64, a custom 64-button MIDI controller.[8] The Midi Fighter line of controllers is notable for using Japanese Sanwa arcade buttons rather than the rubber pads traditionally used on MPC-style MIDI controllers.[8] Initially, the Midi Fighter only came in 16-button variations.[8] A prototype of a 64-button version was designed and 3D printed for him to use by DJ TechTools product designer Michael Mitchell.[8] In 2016, his original Midi Fighter 64 prototype, along with his computer and hard drive, was stolen in a car burglary.[8] This eventually led to the mass production of the Midi Fighter 64 in 2017.[8]
