Iyaz To Debut With Replay
. A native of the British Virgin Islands, Iyaz is at the forefront of the "Island Pop" sound � a brilliant fusion of rap, reggae, pop, and island vibes that has been popularized by fellow Beluga Heights recording artist Sean Kingston. Kingston discovered Iyaz through his MySpace Page in 2008 and introduced him to Rotem, who saw immediate potential in the 23-year-old's vocal and songwriting talent. In just a few short months, Iyaz has already seen his star ascend with the blockbuster success of his debut single "Replay," which soared to No. 1 on the Top 40 chart and the UK singles chart, and has been certified triple-platinum by the R.I.A.A. The track also sold more than 106,000 copies in its first week in the UK, boasting the highest sales for any New Year release since 2004. The prequel and regular versions of the "Replay" video, directed by Bobby Wan, have racked up 35 million views on Iyaz's Official YouTube Channel.
