Virgin Islands-born singer Iyaz (born Keidran Jones) quickly gained popularity with his innovative interpretations of reggae-infused soul music, reminiscent of artists like Sean Paul and Sean Kingston from the early 21st century. His presence on MySpace attracted a devoted fan base, leading to an encounter with Sean Kingston who signed him to his Time Is Money label. Iyaz’s breakthrough single, ‘Replay,’ featuring a unique blend of classical and electronica elements with island pop vibes, reached the second spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 2009. This song, co-written by Iyaz and R.City, not only dominated the U.K., Australian, and Swiss charts but also achieved multiple platinum certifications in the U.S. Subsequent releases like ‘Solo’ and ‘So Big’ continued to showcase his musical talents, paving the way for the launch of his album ‘Replay’ in June 2010. Despite a label transition, Iyaz later unveiled ‘Aurora’ exclusively in Japan after extensive concert tours.
