KZR (Kayzar)’s earlier influences were artists like Apache Indian, So Solid Crew, Ragav and Jay Sean.

He grew up with these artists who were making a pathway for future Asian artists. He believes his sound is best described as “Afrobeat infused style with South Asian twist”. This crossover sound includes Afrobeat, Bollywood, French, Arabic mix influenced music, mainly focusing on Desi Pop fusion with mainly English, Punjabi & Bengali lyrics.
In a recent interview with a radio channel Kayzar was asked about his inspiration. This is what he says, “Growing up, I always loved music growing. Interestingly, however, I only realized that I could sing and rap at the age of 14 – quite the contrary to the people who begin at age 4-5! I think this was primarily due to a large surge of confidence that I developed around this age, allowing me to not only ‘find my voice’ but to find myself too. I went on to do music for next few year but soon after I left university I went in to full-time working and music took a back seat. Music came back into my life and the forefront when Rah (now my music engineer) asked me to come and chill at his studio. I started to freestyle and was messing around with different beats. Once Rah called me over and saw an upcoming singer in me. There was no turning back ever since!”
