070 Shake

About

070 Shake doesn't just make music; she conjures atmospheres. Born Danielle Balbuena in North Bergen, New Jersey, her sound is a hypnotic blend of alternative R&B, emo-rap, and dream-pop, a sonic tapestry woven with vulnerability and raw emotion. The influence of artists like Kid Cudi and Kanye West is audible in her expansive, genre-bending production. Shake's ascent began with early SoundCloud releases and the formation of the 070 collective. But her true breakthrough arrived with features on Kanye West's *Ye* ("Ghost Town," "Violent Crimes") in 2018, catapulting her into the mainstream. Her debut album, *Modus Vivendi* (2020), solidified her position as a visionary artist, exploring themes of love, loss, and identity with unflinching honesty. *You Can’t Kill Me* (2022), her sophomore effort, further refined her sound, pushing boundaries with its introspective lyricism and experimental soundscapes. Beyond the music, 070 Shake represents a new generation of artists who defy categorization. Openly queer, she fearlessly explores themes of sexuality and identity, resonating with fans seeking authenticity. Collaborations with artists like Madonna and Pusha T underscore her versatility and broad appeal. Currently, she continues to tour and craft her unique brand of genre-bending artistry, solidifying her status as a vital voice in contemporary music.
