Feb 2nd
“I’m Proud 2 say ive joined da same management as Timbaland & Jim Beanz, which is Mike Daddy of Sunset entertainment/Timberland Productions.” is what super producer Rishi Rich tweeted only hours ago. Responsible for the success of the likes of Jay Sean, Mumzy Stranger and other world class ethnic acts will now also nurture the likes of Ashanti, Danity Kane, Jamie Foxx, Keri Hilson, Nelly Furtado, Shakira and of course Timbaland.

Mumzy Stranger kicks off promotional tour!
Oct 16th
It was only a few months ago when a promo single from London boy Mumzy Stranger was left on my desk. Indeed “Fly With Me” was the much anticipated single from the singer, rapper and song writer – although the track is very different from the current play-list of just Euro-pop, Euro-pop, Euro-pop and more Euro-pop (did I mention Euro-pop?) it was just a relief to hear something with a little more substance than the tracks out there today that could single handed give you a epileptic fit!
Impossible to box in a specific genre, Fly With Me draws influences from dance music combined with smooth R&B vocals and a distinct dancehall flavour. – Of course the track is nothing like the previous work of Mumzy Stranger however this very single alone has caused a lot of head in the industry. Co-written and co-produced with renowned producer and long time mentor, Rishi Rich, Mumzy Stranger The single is a must have!!!
And Mumzy Stranger is currently touring the country promoting the new exciting single alongside the amazing video… – there is more to come from Mumzy Stranger; I just cannot tell you yet! And trust me, when I’m allowed to tell you the amazement of the “as-yet-untitled” album, I will Read the rest of this entry »
“You know I’m original, not your everyday typical”
Aug 13th
After finally ditching Preeya Kalidas to “Shimmy” by herself the doors have been left wide open for Mumzy Stranger. East London singer and rapper is finally ready to release some new work since the early projects of his career from almost a year ago. Despite just coming off a record which almost fell into the minus off the charts (Preeya Kalidas “Shimmy“), there is already hype circulating industry floors building up the heat of his next single release titled “Fly With Me“.
Impossible to box in a specific genre, “Fly With Me“ draws influences from dance music combined with smooth R&B vocals and a distinct dancehall flavour – Co-written and co-produced with renowned producer and long time mentor, Rishi Rich, Mumzy Stranger has been making a name for himself on the urban and Asian underground scene over the last few years. Mumzy started out on East London’s grime scene battling with other MCs before discovering the Asian club scene when he started University. Combing the two genres with his love of dancehall music, Mumzy Stranger started becoming one of the key figures on the Asian music scene.
Already playing to crowds of 60,000 people (something which some “main-stream” artists fail to do – no names, but just though I’d drop Rihanna in this one!) Mumzy Stranger will be finishing his debut album which will be released in 2011. As you can expect from an artist who mixes sounds and styles, he is determined not to be pigeonholed. He told us “I’m not an Asian doing R&B music. I’m a soulful, R&B, bashment artist who happens to be Asian. I don’t need to be put under any category.” – There are currently several versions of ”Fly With Me” circulating, however a mastered is yet to be released! Read the rest of this entry »
