Foji is the perfect example of how talent, originality and an eye for a good tune can take you all the way.

Fast forward twelve months and amongst the new talent coming through including people like JK & Jaz Dhami we have Foji, a quiet contender with two massive hits under his belt and a spanker of a debut album.ÌýÌýÌý

ÌýNot only does he have an unassuming voice that has an addictive tone about it he also clearly comes from a tradition of experimentation.Ìý The track 'Kamlee' on his album is a DubStep Bhangra banger…yes Dubstep.Ìý In this day and ago you would expect some DJ's to make dubstep versions of Bhangra tracks, but not a full-on clash of musical cultures five tracks in on a mainstream Bhangra album!Ìý

A year or so ago the death of Bhangra was proclaimed from many rooftops (mine included!) and we saw the gradual emergence of an Indian Bhangra scene ready to swallow up the last remnants of the UK & North America.ÌýÌý

On the day of the release of 'Dafa Hoja', Foji's debut album we invited him in for a chat and a live acoustic session.Ìý If you doubted his talents then check this acoustic version of Dafa Hoja and tell us what you think?
