Editor's note

Iyaz, the voice behind 'Replay' and a pop-reggae moment

A St. Thomas singer who broke through in 2009 with a massive radio hit and a platinum debut.

If you're going to remember one thing, it's 'Replay.' For a fuller picture, check out 'Solo' or 'Pyramid' to hear that sound stretched out a bit.

In 2009, 'Replay' became one of those songs you couldn't escape on the radio, with a chorus so simple and sticky it pushed his self-titled album to platinum. The track's copyright lawsuit added a layer of industry drama to its story. Songs like 'Solo' and 'Pyramid' kept that pop-reggae formula going, even if nothing else caught on quite the same way.

He came up in 2009 with 'Replay,' which led to a platinum debut album. A second album, 'Aurora,' arrived in 2011 with the single 'Pyramid' featuring Charice, but later material didn't find the same audience.

Archive material and source history

Iyaz is the stage name of Keidran Jones, who was born in 1987 on St. Thomas. He came up in 2009 with 'Replay,' a single that got big enough to push his self-titled debut album to platinum. The song's simple, sticky chorus made it a radio staple for a while.

That debut record also included tracks like 'Solo' and 'So Big,' which followed a similar pop-reggae formula. He put out a second album called 'Aurora' in 2011, which had the single 'Pyramid' featuring Charice. The material after 'Replay' didn't catch on in the same way.

There was a copyright lawsuit over a sample in 'Replay,' which became part of the story around that song. Iyaz worked with producers and other artists like Sean Kingston and Cascada during that period, but he's mostly remembered for that one early hit.
