AFRO-POP duo Bkay & Kazz continue to grow from strength to strength.
Celebrated at home in Zimbabwe, the sibling super group have set their sights on astounding the international music scene.
Born Seiraj S Khan (Bkay) and Farhaan S Khan (Kazz), they picked up the guitar and the piano respectively as toddlers. It wasn’t until 2007 however, when their collaboration with Dancehall artist Decibel on the track Ndikati Hello cast a national spotlight on them. Propelled by the success of the cut, their debut album, In the Beginning, went straight to the top of the charts of the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation.
In the same year, B-Kay & Kazz packed their bags and flew out to set base in the UK. They entered the national talent show Live & Unsigned UK – the second biggest competition in the UK, and after auditioning with 30,000 other acts, the boys waltzed through every level of the different stages to be crowned the ultimate winners of the competition.
To mark this success, the brothers recorded the hugely popular self-penned single You Know its Right as lead to the subsequent release of their international debut LP, Boomslang.
You Know Its Right proved a hit. 8 weeks before the release of Boomslang, the boys made it to Number One in the singles downloads charts and also made it into the overall UK Top 30 Charts.
Their video was rated top ten on Channel U’s music charts and this success led to promoters knocking on their door requesting that they open shows for some of today’s top entertainers such as, Jay Sean, Omarion, Sisqo, Tony Mattaron, Mr Vegas, Marques Houston, Liberty X, Oliver Mtukudzi, Andy Brown, Nathan, F.D.M. and Ne-Yo.
The guys are back, watch this space.
