A low key introvert, born and raised in East London, who was heavily influenced by many styles of Hip-Hop from Boom Rap, Grime, Trap and so on but not to mention different genres such as R&B, Psychedelic Rock and Jazz. A genre of this music and you’ll get a one-of-a-kind who is a mystery, and that mystery is Isaiah Shoticaury.

I like to make music that tells stories, whether through descriptive acoustic ballads done with just me and the guitar, or an energetic live looping tune that brings people through a tale of sounds and feelings. Music is such an incredible gift from God and it's my calling to use it to get people to feel more connected to themselves and the beautiful world around us.

We’ve been playing live since May 28th 2021 - we formed in university during lockdown so it was a bit of a slow burn at first, but as soon as we hit the stage we realised there was an energy between us and the audience that we were not used to experiencing, certainly not in little pub gigs. Fast forward a year and we have opened Islington Assembly Hall in front of hundreds of strangers - it was insane! And the crowd’s response was incredible. Fast forward another year and we’re now finishing up a long residency at The Camden Club in London where we’ve played numerous sold out shows. During this time we’ve also toured the UK and Portugal playing in front of crowds of up to 3,000 and we are ready to smash out the festival scene this summer and make the crowds go wild. Hello Amnesia isn’t the most well known band on the circuit, but we’re a great crowd pleaser (even to people who don’t like rock music) and we’re just keen to get out there and share our fun with more people!
