DJ Shub, also known as Dan General, is a pioneering figure in the electronic music scene, best known for his innovative fusion of Indigenous sounds with cutting-edge beats and bass music. Hailing from the Six Nations of the Grand River, he has become a prominent name in Canada's music landscape, especially noted for his work as a former member of the groundbreaking group A Tribe Called Red.

In his solo career, DJ Shub has continued to captivate audiences and has been acclaimed for his ability to harness the power of Indigenous music and amplify it through modern soundscapes. His discography offers a compelling blend of cultural authenticity and electronic innovation. With recent releases like "Half-Breed (Remix)" and the infectious rhythms of "Takin' Off (feat. RoRo)," DJ Shub ensures his music remains on the cutting edge. His collaborations with artists across genres, like the soul-stirring "Ombaashi (feat. Northern Cree)," showcase his versatility and commitment to sharing Indigenous culture with the world. A pathfinder in the music industry, DJ Shub's work transcends mere entertainment, acting as a vessel for cultural expression, storytelling, and empowerment for Indigenous communities.
