Shy FX is the pseudonym of Andre Williams, an English drum and bass musician from London.
Shy FX was a cult UK-based ragga and jungle producer, Williams established his reputation with his first two singles, "Gangsta Kid" and "Original Nuttah" in 1994. While completing a sound engineering course as a teenager, Williams was given a work experience placement at the influential UK label, Sound Of Underground Records (S.O.U.R.). Clearly, the label recognised the young engineer's talent in the studio and released his debut singles. "Original Nuttah" featured dialogue from the Martin Scorsese gangster movie Goodfellas, crashing breakbeats and the ragga "scatting" of UK Apachi (Abdul Wahab Lafti). Like its predecessor, "Original Nuttah' became a ragga jungle anthem and eventually reached the UK Top 40.
Throughout his career he has worked closely with T Power, both as Ebony Dubsters and Shy-FX and T Power; their 2002 track "Shake Your Body" with vocalist Di was a crossover success, appearing in the Top 10 UK Singles Chart. "Shake your Body" had great success throughout Europe.
In 2005 he founded Digital Soundboy Recordings.
More recently he produced the track "Da Feelin" for Dizzee Rascal's 2007 album Maths and English.
