FESHAREKI, Shiva

Shiva Feshareki (1987) is a British-Iranian composer, artist and turntablist, described as “the most cutting-edge expression of turntablism” and as “one of the most astonishing acts of musical alchemy of the last decade” (BBC Radio 3). Over the last decade, she has been a pioneer at the leading edge of both contemporary classical and electronic music scenes.

Born in London, Shiva holds a Doctorate of Music in composition from the Royal College of Music (2017), and is a winner of the BBC Young Composer’s Award (2004), the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize (2009) and the Ivor Novello Award for Innovation (2017). She was a Visiting Fellow at Oxford University with the Electronic Music Practice Research group (EMPRes) funded by the Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH), researching and presenting state-of-the-art spatial and ambisonic electronic composition.
