Jude Shuma
Psychedelic, multi-instrumentalist, Jude Shuma, was raised in the outskirts of Chicago where he found his first guitar and started writing music at the age of 15. His sun-drenched reverberations appeal to daydreaming and summer vacations. “Another perfect day to get nothing done underneath the sun” Shuma sings on “Float.” With a few songs to his name, Shuma landed one track on the new HBO series, Ballers. More new music is on the horizon.
