Scottish musician Liam Shortall, known as corto.alto, is a compelling blend of genres emerging from Glasgow's dynamic music scene. His sound is a rich tapestry woven from electronic music, club culture, and the soulful threads of hip-hop and funk. This innovative approach has distinguished him as a forward-thinking artist, resonating deeply with contemporary audiences.

corto.alto’s debut album, *Bad With Names*, made waves in the music industry, earning a spot on the Mercury Prize shortlist in 2024 and winning accolades such as Best Album at the Scottish Jazz Awards.

With support from notable figures like Gilles Peterson, corto.alto is carving out a unique niche that redefines jazz for a new generation.
