Jay Rox

Born Jackson Ngambi Banda on the 23rd of February 1988, Jay Rox is known to the world as one of the finest innovative stage performers, record producer and songwriter of his generation. Before becoming one of Zambia’s most successful producers and a rapper, Jay always had a special connection with music. Jay’s music journey took root during his childhood where he was forced to attend church with his mother. In 2009 Jay became a member of the hip-hop group “The Zone Fam”. The group consisted of four members Dope G, Jay Rox, Young Verbal and Thuggs. He rose to fame after the release of their debut single “Shaka Zulu On Em” on the 1st of March 2011. However, Just after being named Best African Group at the Global African Music Awards, the band dismantled and Jay continued his solo music career. Just like many of Jay’s music, “Shaka Zulu On Em” is about African Pride and paying homage to African roots, culture, people and tradition. It speaks very highly of African Historic figures and their contributions to the Africa we have today. The song is created to inspire the young generation to love who they are, where they come from and to uplift their African culture.
