International SA Indie Pop star and actor IKE MORIZ (Cosmopolitan hot talent) has just returned from London where he recorded parts of his brand-new 3rd album “ALL AROUND THE WORLD” (release date: 11.11.2007). The 12 track CD features 5FM DJ & top SA celebrity Elana Afrika & a remix by hip London producer Max Bravo in collaboration with George Michael’s producer Steve Kent. ‘The Darkness’ session guitarist Jim Barnes has written the opening song for this album. The Capetonian has received wide acclaim for his two albums ‘Mirrors & Shade’ and ‘Play Me’ in the UK & SA. His original songs were played in 17 countries worldwide and Ike has appeared in many major feature films like ‘Alfie’, ‘Shanghai Knights’ and ‘Love Actually’ as well as UK TV series ‘Eastenders’, ‘Family Affairs’ and ‘The Bill’ et al. Rock legend David Bowie himself voted Ike’s songs as top song of the month on his web site! ‘South Africa’s own indie pop idol’ (The Citizen, Cape Argus) studied music and acting in South Africa, Germany and Holland after a jet-setting childhood. The singer, actor, producer and songwriter spent 5 years in London, fronting rock bands, performing in musicals and running his own label Mosquito Records London, before returning to his favorite country SA at the end of 2005. His songs have taken the SA radio charts by storm (5FM, OFM, MFM, MWEB, etc.) while his music videos rock DSTV channel MK89 with FHM super model Lisa-Marie Schneider in the lead. In the US, Ike was described as “Bowie without the glam meets Oasis without the self-importance teamed with UK chart alternative without the boredom”. For further information visit www.ikemoriz.com.
