Roeshdien Jaz launches new Summer Single ‘Inside ‘n Out’ -Sun 15th Dec

Roeshdien Jaz, known in the industry as ‘Mr Jaz’ released his first radio single ‘Feel for Life’ in 2010. It featured well known Cape Town Emcee Jean-Pierre from the multi-genre urban fusion band Supadan and currently Black Noise. The single was well-received across local radio stations and spent 13 weeks on the Heart 104.9 fm SA Top 10 charts, 3 weeks at number one. It then entered the International Top 30 charts with Paul Playdon on the same radio station.

It all started with his first stage performance as an Italian gangster, alongside the likes of Jody Abrahams, Alistair Izobel and Emo Adams, in the theatre production ‘Bugsy Malone’ at the tender age of 10. It was directed by the much respected Farouk Valley Omar, better known for his work in theatre production, District 6.

In 1994, Roeshdien debuted in the biblical movie ‘Out of Jerusalem’ with famous American actor James Brolin (Hotel). He also performed at The Grahamstown Festival with Nazley George and the ‘Creative School Of Speech & Drama’ and attended a local community music school called ‘Prompt’, with classmates who included SAMA Award winning Claire Phillips, and Ferdi-Ferd. Later that same year, he started a hip hop/RNB band Kwaai2 and released a single, on GHFM, called, ‘Get to know you’, produced by Grenville Williams.

In 2004, Roeshdien managed a multi-genre, urban fusion band, Supadan. “I have always been extremely passionate about the development of people and using music as a medium for social change and a source of upliftment an inspiration…” says the multi-talented singer/songwriter, inspirational speaker and personal life-coach. He is also a personal financial planner, helping people financially plan for their future.

His brand new single ‘Inside ‘n Out’ is a catchy feel-good tune, one that is destined to become one of the Summer 2014 hits. Written and produced by Clive Ridgway. It is due for release on December 15.

‘It’s a quirky, happy love song, about being in love and how your entire world gets swung ‘upside down’ and ‘inside out’, said Roeshdien. ‘The sky is blue-er, roses are redder, you are walking on air, you can’t stop smiling. And the desire to want to share this overwhelming emotion that truly magnifies the human experience of being in love, is irresistible’

Clive Ridgway, who has written music for many of South Africa’s artists including Jonathan Butler, Dr Victor, Kurt Darren, Juanita du Plessis, Clive Bruce, Judith Sephuma, Rocking Horse, was thrilled with the end result of Inside n Out said he loved working with this young man!

‘Inside ‘n Out’ is a simple, joyful love song. I thought it would be a great track for Roeshdien as it has a ‘groovy’ beat and melody to show off his unique vocal phrasing, and playful words to show off his sense of fun. said Ridgway ‘His musicality, mindfulness and generosity made this project a light and joyful one. Thank you, Roeshdien’
