THE ALL SORTS
CJ Shaw’s music combines clever songwriting, infectious rhythms and humour with the real experiences and imagination of childhood.
Drawing on the Australian Curriculum, CJ weaves numeracy, literacy, history and other learning concepts naturally into his songs - never losing sight of the music itself. His curriculum-aligned repertoire has been road-tested in classrooms for more than a decade and performed for audiences across Australia.
Spanning hip-hop, pop, folk and everything in between, CJ’s music grows with its audience, offering upper-primary students songs that feel contemporary, relatable and musically engaging.
