Corto.alto

Scottish composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Liam Shortall, aka corto.alto has had an incredible couple of years: his debut album Bad With Names was shortlisted for the iconic Mercury Prize (2024), won 'Best Album' at the Scottish Jazz Awards. In 2025, he won 'Act Of The Year' at the Jazz FM Awards, public vote with Ezra Collective and Nubya Garcia the other two nominees, as well as UK Independent Breakthrough at the Aim Awards.

Now signed to Ninja Tune, he's released singles DON'T LISTEN, VANDAL and APRIL feat. anaiis which continue to showcase his natural ear for cross-pollination of styles. The tracks have received enormous radio support with over 3000 plays globally in less than 6 weeks as well as being on BBC 6 Music's A-Playlist. DON'T LISTEN was also included in the iconic 'FC26' soundtrack.

This is music on his own terms. Music that speaks not just to his time spent as part of the burgeoning and fertile music scene in Glasgow; but equally to an eclectic mix of influences that draw as much on his affinity with club-culture and all its forms of Electronic Music, or to his love of classic Hip-Hop, Soul and Funk. Support TBA.
