R&B sensation Iyaz returns to Ames this April to perform at Veishea. Iyaz was just in Ames this past fall performing with Lupe Fiasco at Hilton Coliseum. Apparently he had such a good time here that he jumped at the chance to come back.

The 24-year-old’s (he’ll turn 25 on Veishea Sunday) British Virgin Island roots spawned reggae-inspired hits like 2009’s “Replay” and 2010’s “Solo.” More recently, his collaboration with Gym Class Hero’s Travie McCoy on “Pretty Girls” this summer received a lot of radio play and spent some time on the Billboard Hot 100.

Iyaz first burst onto the scene with “Replay,” which gained popularity with its infectious R&B beats and quickly topped charts all over the world.

All of his songs are fun and catchy, making them perfect for any club or dance. The popularity of his songs means they are constantly being remixed or reworked by several artists, such as Flo Rida.
