A technology pioneering creator of electronic pop, Shawn Wasabi (born Shawn Serrano on May 26, 1994 in Salinas, California) gained his initial musical skills learning the piano as a boy. Using a Midi Fighter, he began creating mashups and making them available online in 2013. He quickly developed a following with viral successes, gaining the greatest notoriety for 2015âs âMarble Sodaâ, a track he created with the Midi Fighter 64, a device he helped develop. The sounds he created were so unique that there was commercial demand for the Midi Fighter 64, securing Wasabiâs reputation as an innovator. Maintaining his status as a viral supertar, he continued issuing new singles throughout the decade, often collaborating with singers, including âOtter Popâ with Hollis âMango Loveâ with Satica, and two songs featuring Raychel Jay. Wasabi and Jayâs collaboration continued on Wasabiâs 2020 release, Mangotale, with Jay providing vocals on four of the albumâs twelve tracks, including the single âHome Runâ. Other featured singers on the album include Tia Scola, Spacegirl Gemmy, Chevy, and Kennedi.
