TexMex Shaman, a project of Dallas musician and artist Stephen Watkins, was founded in October 2018. TexMex Shaman offers a genre-defying sound that combines funk beats, intense guitar, smooth bass, and captivating samples into tracks that are at once familiar and novel.

Watkins has been composing and performing for over 20 years. After receiving a degree in music from the University of North Texas, he spent the 1990s touring Texas and the Southern US. His passion for live performing helps him create music that is complex enough to be listened to repeatedly, offering find new elements and emotions with each listening.

TexMex Shaman has released six tracks on the EP Fever in the South in March of 2019. More tracks are being composed to complete a new LP that will be released in early 2020.

Watkins created TexMex Shaman to be a response to commercial, corporatized music that follows formulas and conventions. By pushing the envelope on musical genres and taking listeners on an auditory journey that is as stream of consciousness as it is musically refreshing, TexMex Shaman offers a new vision for what modern music can be.
