About Zain Bhikha
Zain Bhikha was born in 1974 in Pretoria, South Africa where he started singing from a very young age entertaining family and friends. In 1994, Zain
Bhikha aged 20 entered a singing competition held on a local radio station. From thousands of entries, he won the competition. This success led to his first album, 'A Way of Life' (1994)
This first album soon became a rousing success amongst the South African Muslim community. Thus came 'Praise to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)' (1996), followed at yearly intervals by 'Fortunate is he' (1997) and 'The Journey' (1998).
All proved extremely popular and began to filter abroad. And so it was that Yusuf came across one of
Zain Bhikha's albums and invited him to London to work with him. The result was 'A is for Allah' (2000), a double album, primarily spoken word, which featured
him singing 7 of the 8 songs. Later that year, two compilation albums 'Children of Heaven' and 'Towards the Light' (both 2000), featuring re-mixed songs, were released.
It was while promoting these compilations in Turkey that
Zain Bhikha was introduced to and recorded with Hasan Kiliçatan. In 2001
he released 'Faith' with a guest appearance from his friend Dawud
Wharnsby-Ali, he is married with 2 children,
his son Rashid Bhikha has recently released a track, trying to follow in
his fathers footsteps. Zain Bhikha now has a huge
fan base around the globe, especially amongst the English speaking youngsters.
