The single and video for ‘Pasina’ released worldwide on November 7, 2014. The single contains vocals from Jaz Dhami and features Ikka and Sneakbo.
Jaz Dhami is best known for his super hit ‘High Heels’ with Indian rapper and singing sensation Yo Yo Honey Singh (2012), and has now introduced a new style of Hip hop and R’n’B to the Asian music scene.
Rumour has it, that for quite some time Jaz Dhami was searching for an urban reflective sound and couldn’t find one that could fit what he wanted.
The desire that Jaz Dhami had for a new urban sound was fulfilled when Steel Banglez became his music director for the new single ‘Pasina’.
Steel Banglez is a well known music producer and DJ. When he was younger, he was taught various Indian classical instruments such as the harmonium, tabla and the dhol.
He started producing at the age of 17, and is now well-known in the Asian underground music scene and also amongst mainstream Asian artists.
Together Jaz and Steel Banglez have created a tune that contains a mashup of bashment, dancehall and rap.
