About Conkarah
Having surpassed a combined 2 billion global streams and topping charts in over 23 countries, (2x Diamond, Platinum, and Gold in Mexico; Platinum in Brazil, Canada, India, Netherlands, and Gold in Norway, Spain, France, and Sweden); Conkarah has emerged as a musical force to be reckoned with. Hailing from Kingston, Jamaica, Conkarah is bringing disparate cultures together with his vibrant brand of “Island Pop”—a colorful concoction melding reggae, dancehall, and harmony with classic songwriting, tropical rhythms, and irreverent good humor. “Banana” featuring his fellow Jamaican, international reggae singer/producer Shaggy, proved a chart-topping global smash, fueled in part by the hugely popular #BANANADROP dance challenge, including videos by such celebrities and top influencers as Jason Derulo, Charli D’Amelio, Nicole Scherzinger, Chiara Ferragni, Neymar, and Addison Rae. With “Banana” still breaking records, Conkarah followed it up with another flavorful single, “Papaya (Sick Wit It Crew Mix).” These songs and others will be featured on his new EP Destination Unknown (BMG), due out later this in early 2022 — featuring special musical guests.

Zed Bias is best known for his single “Neighbourhood” which reached #25 in the UK Singles chart in July 2000, on XL recordings. The track created a large underground response from late 1999 in its original version, which was recently included in the soundtrack of the 2021 movie “People Just Do Nothing: BIG IN JAPAN”. The song, featuring the vocals of MC Rumpus and Nicky Prince, is still widely regarded as a UKG Anthem, 22 years on from its first release on Locked On records.

If there’s one thing you know to expect from a Zed Bias album it’s that you never quite know what to expect. One thing seems certain, though. With multiple international DJ tours, a live band, and various releases pending, Bias is showing no signs of slowing down going into 2022 and beyond.
