Shteel & Akira set to release deeply moving debut single “Rewind” on July 4th

Crafted with ethereal textures, sweeping production, and an aching vulnerability, REWIND explores the timeless human desire to undo a moment, relive a memory, or simply pause time. The track is both atmospheric and grounded, fusing AKIRA’s haunting vocal delivery with SHTEEL’s evocative, genre-fluid production style. The result is an emotionally rich experience that resonates deeply with a generation seeking authenticity and connection. Pre-save here.

Both raised in London, UK - AKIRA and SHTEEL form a compelling creative partnership — one rooted in shared history, mutual respect, and a relentless commitment to truth through sound. SHTEEL combines technical skill with a unique sensitivity — made all the more remarkable by being partially deaf in one ear. His ability to stay on pitch and deliver powerful vocals despite this is a testament to his instinctive musicality.

AKIRA, SHTEEL’s longtime friend and musical counterpart, brings a soulful intensity and lyrical depth to every performance. The duo met at an open mic night at just 12 years old, and their artistic evolution has been closely linked ever since. AKIRA’s voice balances delicacy and power, making her a magnetic force in emotionally driven music.
