The Essential List: Shai Caleb Hirschson
Creative Managing Director at GINGER x MassiveMusic shares the best of Berlin and Johannesburg
Shai Caleb Hirschson’s first album was by Vanilla Ice, but don't let that fool you. These days he's a musical powerhouse, heading up GINGER x MassiveMusic in Berlin. Originally from Johannesburg in South Africa, these days you’re more likely to find him hanging out in Mitte with his Boxer. While music is his job and passion, on the side he’s also been sharpening up his carpentry skills.
