Izzad Radzali Shah (b.1986) is an autodidact multidisciplinary artist from Singapore. His practice often utilise drawing and painting to make artworks that poke fun at the self and the modern society. Having being inspired by lowbrow cinema recently, he has since shifted to experiment with new media works since 2020. Izzad plays drums for Singapore hardcore punk band, SIAL and has been constantly involving himself in any musical projects as a multi-instrumentalist and also as a recording engineer.

He has participated in group exhibitions at the Gillman Barracks (2018), Ace House Collective, Jogjakarta (2017), and at Singapore’s Mi Casa Su Casa (2014) and The Substation (2013).
