British-Asian pop icon Zack Knight struck gold when he released his 2017 hit single Bom Diggy Diggy (ft Jasmin Walia).<\/p>\n

With over 500 million views to date on YouTube and other social media platforms, the song cemented him as an international superstar – even Nick Jonas from Jonas Brothers fame claimed this to be one of his top favourite Bollywood songs.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

South African \u201cKnighters\u201d (as his fans are referred to) will experience Zach up close for the first time in SA with a performance at Emperors Palace\u2019s Centre Court on November 29.<\/p>\n

Osman Osman, managing director of Blu Blood, said, \u201cBlu Blood has been exploring new avenues this year and we have endeavoured to bring artists to South Africa that our audiences have not yet had the chance to see live on stage.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cZack Knight is one artist in particular that we are so excited to bring out to our shores.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brings with him a whole new energy and we know that our loyal patrons are going to be blown away by this performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guaranteed to be a show of epic proportions, Zack will be performing all his hits, including Galtiyan, Gotta Go and Thumka, all of which have received resounding success worldwide.<\/p>\n

Born in North England to a Punjabi mother and Afro-Asian father (whom he credits as his inspiration behind pursuing a career in music), Zack is one of the UK\u2019s most formidable South Asian singer\/songwriters.<\/p>\n

He first started out in the industry writing music for household names, including Tinie Tempah and Ginuwine, but soon wanted his own career.<\/p>\n

He describes his music as R&B infused with a crossover sound of Bollywood and Arabian influences.<\/p>\n

He is one of the few singer\/songwriters who produces, composes and engineers his own music.<\/p>\n

Aside from having written six Top 5 singles in the Asian charts and two Top 5 UK singles in the R&B iTunes charts, he has also performed at sold-out arenas like the Hammersmith Apollo, Wembley and the O2 Arena.<\/p>\n

While he considers these memorable career highlights, he aspires to still write that elusive #1 Billboard single.<\/p>\n

The show starts at 8.30pm and is suitable for all ages.<\/p>\n

The show is brought to SA by Blu Blood, in association with Aandal Foods, Vatika Naturals and Lal-Qilla Basmati Rice.<\/p>\n
