How did you all find each other and decide to share your musical talents as a group?
We grew up together, I was always rapping & golo was always hyper so we worked well together.
How would you describe your sound? Why do you think people resonate with your music?
I guess it’s just the emotions I’m feeling at the time or the things I’m going through. Not sure why people resonate with it but I hope it’s because they can relate to the feelings & maybe find some comfort in knowing that they’re not the only one.
Which artist’s music and/or performance, past or present, inspires you today?
I’m mostly inspired by Pharrell, Kid Cudi & Kanye.
Your new single/EP/Album has just been released/is about to be released! Describe its origin and evolution.
The track is really me dealing with the internal conflict of falling in love whilst still heartbroken trying to maintain a shield on my emotions.
Is there an EP or Album on the drawing board?
We’re definitely sitting on albums worth of music but for now we’re focusing on singles.
Any tours or events coming up soon? What are you looking forward to, and what can the fans expect?
We’re just waiting to see what’s happening with the corona shit right now, but there is 100% plans in the works for hitting the touring circuit when it’s safe again. We’re also working on a clothing line in the background as well.

If you could perform with any music artist, Alive or Dead, who would you choose? And why?
The Beatles… just for the clout!
Do you have any long-term aspirations as a music artist?
Of course! If you’re not in it for the long term then you are in the wrong profession.
What is the best thing about performing to a live audience? What’s been the career highlight so far?
The feeling of hearing people sing your words for you is wild. A career highlight has been performing in Thailand at the Atlantis Water Festival.

Cult Shφtta
Drops Visuals For
‘Fkn Oath’
Cult Shφtta’s latest single ‘Fkn Oath’ originally premiered via Triple J’s Home & Hosed and has since been featured on Apple’s New Music Daily, the duo returns with captivating visuals showcasing the evolution of emotions through-out the hit single.
The video serves as a memory of hardships and a reminder of strength in love. The trend-setting Western Sydney duo’s visuals was filmed and edited by up-and-coming Sydney videographer, Aaron Bull. Aaron has previously worked with artists’ including Yungn Lips, OTG, Pistol Pete & Enzo, Jaecy, Lil Spacely, Yibby and more, and was also responsible for the visuals to Cult Shφtta’s previous single, ‘My Ways.’
Amongst the chaos of the last six months, Cult Shφtta have managed to showcase the beauty of Australia amidst raging bush fires and severe floods. Director Aaron Bull displays Cult Shφtta’s surroundings changing, coinciding with the evolution of emotions happening throughout the song.
Beginning with shots of barren, dry land (heartbreak/emptiness) followed by the destruction of the floods (letting guards down) then ending with wildlife returning and unknowingly, for the last time before the pandemic hit, celebrating together with friends representing re-kindling love.
Proving themselves as one of the most outlandish and trailblazing artists’ coming out of Australia, the duo are currently collaborating on music with artists’ including Creed The Kid (Brisbane) and Hideyoshi (Japan). A world-takeover set firmly on their minds, last year they performed in Thailand, at Atlantis Water Festival, and also reached 194k views on their single with local Thai MC, NGAZ YB.
On a constant journey to showcase original sounds & styles, Cult Shφtta’s latest offering showcases that they won’t be slowing down any time soon. The single has been featured by trusted taste-makers such as I Am Hip Hop Magazine, FBi Radio, Dopecausewesaid and more. Alongside major playlists for Urban Flavour, The Drip, Local Hype and New Music Friday on Spotify AU/NZ.
