The wait is over, DJY Biza’s debut EP KGOSI is finally available for streaming across all digital platforms. The Pretoria West native, who has been dubbed The Piano Meditator, kicked off the countdown with his new single Ta’Biza featuring Wels. The single is an ode to Biza and a juxtaposition from his fans, a young DJ creating music ahead of his age. Biza has delivered a collection of tracks that showcase his extraordinary talent and creativity, “I call it a meditated mix because there are some healing sounds”.
The EP houses sounds of Amapiano infused with Black Is Brown’s Mozambique signature sound with DJ Biza’s uppercut and swing vibe. DJY Biza gives a breakdown of each song below;
1. Bizaza
This one is a revisit I made from the first version I created which was part of Mr. JazziQ’s Last project (All You Need Is Piano). The vision behind this version was to bring it back up with more fire unique elements. Lastly, I was one singing on the vocals.
2.Tatane Biza
This is my favourite song off the project, and this is also a song whereby the vocalist I featured was honouring my sound. I had to make sure I give it a unique feel and the vocals fitted perfectly with the beat.
4.Oksalayo Siya Jola
I made with this song with Jazza MusiQ, Star’Jazz and Kgocee
I got the beat from Jazza MusiQ and it already had Kgocee’s vocals. I changed the beat and gave it a bit more of a “happy mood” and dance vibe then Star’Jazz completed the beat.
5. Mali
I initially started the beat to this song with Jandas, then we invited Lwami to the studio, who understood the assignment and gave the beat more meaning through his amazing voice. I believe this is a song of hope and he actually came about with the whole concept lyrically and Shoes followed him from there onwards.
6. Khuluma Nami
The day this song was produced and recorded, Pcee actually came to me and he said to me that he wants to spend the day with me in studio and he watched me create the beat from scratch, he already had a concept for the song. The song has a bit of a sad emotion he layered on the perfect vocals for the beat.
8. Hotlaba Monate
This song is giving a Sgija & Moza type of vibe, and how it all came about is just so cool because I was in a good mood and it was a song I made just before I headed to my gigs, I just had a good feeling about the day that’s why I ended up naming it “Hotlaba Monate” which basically means “we’re gonna have fun”
9. Nolwazi
This was a beat I made, and it was in my archives, the day I had planned a studio session with both the vocalists I actually knew that both of them would the perfect fit for the song, Sinovuyo & Kush both came up with concepts which were more or less similar and mashed it up together and it was a complete song.
