“Formed in 2007, “Shing Shing Regime” consists of members Cee Self 7 (MC/Producer), Salute Truth (MC), Symmetry (MC) and “The Future Buddha” DJ Akiin (DJ/Producer) [pronounced “Ah-Keen”]. All members of the group were born in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in the province of Ontario, Canada during the late 70’s and early 80’s. Members Cee Self 7 and Salute Truth, due to the moving of family, were raised in the neighboring blue-collar city of Hamilton while members DJ Akiin and Symmetry grew up in the infamous “Malvern” and “Galloway” neighborhoods of East Toronto (Scarborough).

Cee Self 7, Salute Truth and Symmetry all began penning their first rhymes early in their adolescence which helped the young rappers to develop their writing style and confidence. For DJ Akiin, this began his foray into the world of Turntablism and DJ-ing having been influenced by the likes of such DJ’s as DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Premier (Gang Starr), Terminator X (Public Enemy), DJ Scratch (EPMD), and Kid Capri.

The first members of the group to get their feet wet on the Canadian hip-hop scene would be DJ Akiin and Symmetry.

He is also well-known for DJ-ing numerous parties and events throughout the GTA.
