I.Z DSG had always loved singing since he was a child but started making music professionally from 2017.
Since then, he has put out a lot of singles including; ‘Show you’ ft. Teddy Banty, ‘Do am 4me’ ft. Young Shall Gro and ‘Help’ ft Tushi Gucci. 2022 was a special year for him as he rebranded and tapped into the mainstream and debuted with ‘No Comparison’; a lead single from his first-ever Body of work titled “De Sharp Guy Ep.”
‘No Comparison’ was specially highlighted by Albumtalks and Wetalksound as a hit single that will introduce I.Z DSG to new listening audiences. This was true as the 2022 hit single had an official video produced by Kenny J visuals and debuted on ‘Best of Spanking New’ on MTV Base. The EP was later released the same year with other notable hit songs like ‘Your Body’, ‘Peace of mind’ ft Dj Olodo and ‘Salvin and Hustle’.
In 2023, I.Z DSG went even deeper with a very thoughtful low tempo hit single titled “Lifestyle” which narrated a story of a lady whose behavior and character were self destructive. I.Z DSG showed his artistry in this song and is considered by his fans as an everlasting piece and the message he passed will outlive him.
2024 is here and I.Z DSG has teamed up with ‘Killerbwoy’ to anticipate one of the biggest drill songs in view titled “Make Bread.” I.Z DSG, for the first time professionally, has jumped on a drill song which he still made sure there’s a message for his listeners and new audience.
It’s already a big year for this amazing artist as he believes “Make Bread” will take his brand to a whole new horizon.
