Timeline

1994

Shamir Bailey (born November 7, 1994) is an American singer and songwriter from Las Vegas, Nevada.

2014

His debut extended play (EP), Northtown, was released in June 2014 to positive reviews.

In October 2014, he signed to XL Recordings and released the single "On the Regular".

Shamir's debut EP, Northtown, was released by Godmode in June 2014 and is named for the Northtown neighborhood where he grew up.

Jules Muir, writing for the music blog Pigeons & Planes noted that Shamir "continues to make a bigger name for himself with every new release and a unique new sound on each."

Jamieson Cox of Pitchfork called the EP's opening track, "If It Wasn't True" "a stunning opening salvo, one that plays on the tension between Shamir's slender vocal and lyrical naiveté and grimy, threatening instrumental tones before devolving into a chaotic mess, swallowed by a haphazardly firing synth corroding in real-time."

In July 2014, Flavorwire named Shamir's "If It Wasn't True" one of its "25 Best Songs of 2014 So Far".

Radio.com also included Shamir in its "New Music To Know: Best of 2014, So Far" profile, noting that "Shamir combines the honest songwriting of Taylor Swift with the theatrics of Lana Del Rey to make something that sounds far wiser than his 19 years."

After signing to XL Recordings, he released the single "On the Regular" in October 2014 which went on to be used in a 2015 Android Wear commercial.

2015

His debut LP Ratchet was released on May 19, 2015 in the United States.

Shamir is non-binary, informing an interviewer in 2015 that "I don't identify as gay because I don't identify as male or female".

Although he does not have a preferred pronoun, he is comfortable with male pronouns, and "never really got" singular they.

His aunt was in the music business and lived with Shamir and his mother.

Bass players and producers were guests at the family's home, helping his aunt with her songs.

His parents and aunt introduced him to a wide range of music, including hip-hop, R&B, Outkast, Groove Theory, and singers like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Janis Joplin.

At age nine, Shamir received an Epiphone guitar, and began writing music.

At age 16, he formed a punk band with a friend, but the band ended quickly when his partner froze on stage at their first gig.

During his high school years, he recorded tracks for his first EP.

Shortly after graduating from high school, he sent a demo tape to the Godmode label in New York City.

The label founder Nick Sylvester signed him to the label.

In March 2015, he released "Call It Off" as a single in the debut album, Ratchet, released on May 19, 2015.

The accompanied music video was made and released as part of the 2015 YouTube Music Awards.

"Darker" was the second single from Ratchet; the song was released in May 2015.

In 2015, he toured with Years & Years, opening for their UK dates.

2016

In mid-March 2016, he served as the opening act for Troye Sivan's Blue Neighbourhood Tour.

2017

Since then he has released seven independent studio albums, Hope (2017), Revelations (2017), Resolution (2018), Be the Yee, Here Comes the Haw (2019), Cataclysm (2019), Shamir (2020), and Heterosexuality (2022).

Shamir grew up in North Las Vegas, an area that he has called "cookie-cutter suburban."

He was raised as a Muslim but describes himself as "more spiritual than religious, I don't believe in god per se, I kind of feel like god is the universe."

On April 17, 2017, Shamir released his second album, Hope.

He revealed he was dropped from XL Recordings and self-released the album.

After Hope was released, Shamir broke with his management team and again considered quitting his music career.

After a psychotic episode, he spent time in a psychiatric hospital, where he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

He returned to Las Vegas, where he wrote and recorded most of his third album, Revelations, in two weeks.

Noting that the style of the album differed significantly from his previous work, he told a journalist: "A lot of people think I'm crazy. I guess I kind of am. But I also know what's best for me, and that's more important than fame and money".

2018

Shamir was featured on Wussy Magazine's "Sex Issue" in 2018.

On March 9, 2018, Shamir released his fourth album, Resolution without any prior announcement.

Resolution marks a continuation of Shamir's indie rock style, similar to Hope and Revelations.

2020

In 2020, Shamir released the self-titled full length album, Shamir. It was co-produced by Kyle Pulley, and many of the songs, including the single "On My Own" were recorded at Headroom Studios in Philadelphia.

The album was met with critical acclaim and made year end lists for Rolling Stone, Pitchfork and NPR Music.

Shamir published his first book, But I'm a Painter, with Bottlecap Press in 2021, a collection of essays about paintings he created over the previous six years.
