Multi-Platinum International r&b superstar 'IYAZ' will be performing headline shows in Australia for the very first time; playing shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth -across 26 venues including shows in surrounding countries Indonesia, Papa New Guinea & New Zealand. In further exciting news, Justin Wellington (PNG) will be kicking off the night as special guest alongside Australia's own DJ Victor Lopez.

Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and rapper IYAZ released his first single “Replay”, written by him and Jason Derulo, which rapidly soared on the charts and reached #1 Top 40 and is currently over 6 times platinum. His 2nd single “Solo” is getting close to double platinum, and his 3rd and 4th singles “So Big” and “Pretty Girls” have both gone gold. Critics describe Iyaz as “candy to the ears”.
With inventive re-imaginings of the reggae-splashed, hook-heavy Pop/R&B, that artists like Rihanna, Sean Paul, Nicki Minaj, and Sean Kingston, made popular, Virgin Island born IYAZ, quickly built up a huge cult following. He’s friends with, and has been featured on Multi Platinum Selling Global Superstar Artists like: Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Travie McCoy, FloRida, Big Time Rush, David Guetta, Sean Kingston, Rick Ross, New Boys, Charice and more.

In just a short time, he has toured and/or shared the stage with Justin Beiber, P Diddy, Sean Kingston, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Jason Derulo, Charice, 102.7 KISS FM’s concert series “Wango Tango” 2 years in a row, etc. His songs have a been licensed in countless TV shows and video games like Melrose Place, The Voice, The City, So Random, Dance Central 3, Wii Dance Party, etc., and the still virtually new artist IYAZ, has already made the rounds on TV including The Oprah Winfrey Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Lopez Tonight, Disney’s So Random, Viva, etc. Notably, he’s also been featured twice on hit album series “Now That’s What I Call Music!” 33 and 34 and also packaged in the hit XBOX 360 game DJ Hero, paired for mashup with another hit song from none other then the queen of the charts and other island native, Rihanna.

IYAZ has spent that last year regrouping and developing the sound that he had always wanted to pursue. IYAZ says, “sometimes you get locked into a certain sound and image, and everyone around you is telling you how you should sound, what you should write about, how you should look and I really never got to let my fans know who the real IYAZ is”. “That’s why I took control of my career and hooked up with some long time friends and business associates to help me out”, says IYAZ. With shows booked out the rest of the year and also in the studio now planning to get a full length album out later this year, IYAZ is quite busy. He already has a full EP ready to go that he can’t wait to share with his fans.

It is expected to be similar to his other works, but now fans will get the chance to explore the artist even further with a deeper amount of music to listen to. He ultimately wants the recording to be a reflection of who he is. “I’m a total perfectionist. Each note needs to sound just right,” says IYAZ in response to a question about what kind of musician he is.

Iyaz will hit venues across Australia from Thu 21st April- Sun 22nd May. The king of Island pop's first trip to Australia will be talked about for many years to come. Make sure you grab your tickets before they sell out!
