Shuffler are a English funk band formed in 2011 with a debut concert at the Jazz Café.[1] The collective released their self-titled debut studio album, Shuffler in 2013. The band is made up of Daniel Pearce on lead vocals and purcussions, Paul Turner on bass, Rob Harris on guitar and Derrick McKenzie on drums. It has following in both United Kingdom and Europe.
The members of the band that play original materials as well as stylized covers have had great musicianship experience.[2]
Daniel Pearce was in Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 and part of the boy band that resulted from the show called One True Voice. In 2009, he auditioned for the 2009 series of The X Factor, but failed to progress as far as the live finals. After The X Factor, he collaborated with British rapper Dizzee Rascal as backing vocals and was featured in the hit "Dirtee Disco".[3]
The other three have known each other through their work in the British funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai. Paul Turner was a bassist with them before joining Shuffler. He was also involved in the eclectic progressive rock trio The Dark Sinatras. Derrick McKenzie[4] and Rob Harris[5] were drummer and guitarist in Jamoroquai. Harris is also a songwriter and record producer. During 2007–08, he co-wrote and co-produced the debut studio album, Stitch Me Up for Universal Music Group artist Julian Perretta with success in France and Germany.[6]
