Chaitnya Sharma aka SlowCheeta, who grew up in the urban, cement-clad skies of Mumbai, was immediately attracted to the emancipation through expression that rap music offered a young boy like him. A schizophrenic between sarcasm and seriousness, SlowCheeta’s affable nature clubbed with his hidden aggression and cynical criticism of injustice paves way for his multi-dimensional expression. Also an
actor, SlowCheeta earned his first role through Akvarious Productions, which earned him credibility in the theatre world as their plays enjoyed over 150 performances along with META nods (Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards). Featuring in films like Gully Boy, Brahmastra and the upcoming Maidaan on 12th May 2023.
