Paora apera biography of rory allen

I first bumped into Paora Apera aka P. Digsss at Crankworx He was on the sidelines with a big grin, a beer in one hand and a phone filming the action in the other.

I approached him and asked if we could do a story on him, his riding and of course his time with Shapeshifter. We yarned, sipped beer, hung for a while and swapped numbers. I was struck by what a humble guy he was. We kept in contact after this, and to be honest I had to pinch myself whenever a text message came through from him. We talked about a few different ride options that could best articulate his love for riding and music.

He asked me to join a trip riding the Old Ghost Road. This was Rockstar status as it would involve a helicopter ride. As you can imagine, his life is busy with recordings, rehearsals, radio interviews and playing some big gigs around the country and world. Shapeshifter has an energetic electronic sound, and they are known for their live shows and blend of heavy soul with drum and bass.
