"If Hiatus Kaiyote and Masters At Work had a child, corto.alto would be it - the future is now!” - Gilles Peterson
It’s been an intense but rewarding few years for Liam Shortall, better known as the multi-instrumentalist producer, composer and performer corto.alto, (the stage name a nod to his Irish-Spanish heritage, translating as “short.tall” in Spanish). The release of his debut album ‘Bad With Names’ saw him nominated for the 2024 Mercury Music Prize and saw him booked to play hundreds of shows across the world, including high-profile festival performances and a sold-out UK tour. His music is an eclectic mix of influences that draw as much on his affinity with club-culture and all its forms of Electronic Music, or to his love of classic Hip-Hop, Soul and Funk and has seen him being championed across radio and media like Gilles Peterson, Sian Eleri, Jamz Supernova, Deb Grant, KCRW and many more.
