18 Sep
Summary
- Brothers Omar and Jamal Ikram create Bollywood electronic music.
- Their music fuses lo-fi glitchy dance-pop with Bollywood melodies.
- The duo aims to empower brown youth to embrace their identity.
Brothers Omar and Jamal Ikram, aged 21, are charting a unique course in the music scene with their "Bollywood electronic" sound. Hailing from Aldershot, Hampshire, the duo crafts loud, lo-fi, and ultra-glitchy dance-pop that draws heavily from Bollywood melodies.
Their debut album, 'Turmeric,' released last year, echoed the experimental fusion of artists like Jai Paul. It garnered attention partly through the collaboration 'Fuckersby' with rapper Fakemink and their monthly NTS radio show. The subsequent EP, 'There&Back,' released in May, further refined their wild and loud aesthetic with collaborations.
The Ikram brothers are driven by a broader mission: to inspire young brown individuals to express themselves authentically. Jamal Ikram stated their goal is to resist easy categorization and encourage others to embrace their unique identities without feeling pressured to fit into predefined molds.
