Biography
Calima Shatiday composes and plays a variety of musical styles. His main focus since early 2000 is creating music to chill to for the electronic downtempo genre, but clearly evident in his music is an influence of fusion, jazz, ambient, r&b and lounge.
Originally a jazz musician, Calima became inspired to produce more mellow music in the early 2000's listening to SOMA-FM's GrooveSalad. He was smitten by the sounds of The Cinematic Orchestra, Milosh, Trentemøller, Afterlife and DZihan & Kamien. Since 2006, Calima has produced 9 albums. He is constantly composing and refining old and new songs. He strongly believes in giving people an enjoyable listening experience, and carefully crafts each song, refining and re-refining. Calima is currently finishing up his ninth release Conversations, and working on his 10th, which will be released sometime in the spring of 2013.
