The
Bilz & Kashif | Vicious and Master-D, most popularly
known as 'The Bilz' along with the R&B solo artist, Kashif,
form a diverse group called 'The Bilz & Kashif' that delivers
unique commercial urban/pop music straight out of Canada. They
are also known as 'North America's Most Wanted.'
Their debut album broke barriers
in the Canadian music industry with their smash international
singles, '2 Step Bhangra' and 'Spanish Fly' that dominated radio
waves across Canada and internationally, reached number four
on the top 7@7 charts on Z103.5FM in Toronto for three weeks
standing, one notch above Beyonce and Justin Timberlake. They
have performed alongside platinum-selling artists like Enrique
Iglesias, VengaBoys, 112, Belly, Crystal Waters, Massari and
Bobby Valentino, to name a few. Their huge popularity also exploded
them as My Space's Top 10 Independent Canadian Artists.
With '2 Step Bhangra' and 'Spanish
Fly' receiving major rotation on mainstream radio stations, the
video received over 700,000 views on YouTube, reached number
one on MTV Desi for three weeks, gained medium rotation on Much
Music, Much Vibe and licensed '2 Step Bhangra' to a MTV Canada
commercial. The Bilz and Kashif also won the Best Dance Video
of the Year award for '2 Step Bhangra' at the Bollywood Music
Awards at the Trump Taj Casino in 2008.
The year 2008 was also a big
year for them, as they signed a deal to feature their music in
an animated movie 'EKEH 2.0' with Bollywood stars Firoz Khan,
Fardeen Khan and Rakhi Sawant. Their most anticipated single,
'Turn the Music Up', with over 56,000 spins online to date, will
be released as part of their new album across Canada in summer
2009.
