Bazil seduces in France, in Jamaica and well beyond. He recorded dubplates for Walshy Fire and Major Lazer. The French beatmaker Manudigital invited him on his album Digital Pixel (XRP 1601CD, 2017), then on tour. They performed together on the stages of the biggest French and European festivals, such as Solidays, Dour Festival, Reggae Sun Ska, No Logo, Outlook Festival, Boomtown... In February 2018, he released his album East To the West, a mix of genres as he knows so well. With Grow, Bazil invites you to travel on a modern sound, urban, colorful but still influenced by the Jamaican culture he loves. This album is the result of a work of composition and writing between Bazil and Alexis Bruggeman, who also accompanies him on stage. This new album is part of the roots reggae heritage dear to the artist, while incorporating current influences as diverse as hip-hop, Afrobeat, soul, and even some trap sounds. Bazil also invited two artists he particularly likes: the Mauritian Natty Gong and the French Naâman.

Bazil recorded his first album Stand Up Strong in 2011, and it ranked as the second best-selling reggae album of the year in France. Bazil presents this new album, entitled East To The West, on which he mixes styles again as he knows how to do it. Since the beginning of his career, the artist has frequently moved from the East to the West, drawing inspiration from these different round trips between Europe, North America, and the Caribbean. With East To The West, Bazil invites you to escape on a modern, urban, and colorful sound but still influenced by the Jamaican culture he loves. To record East To The West, the singer has composed some titles himself but has also appealed to several beatmakers around him, such as Manudigital, Tambour Battant, S.O.A.P., or Bost. In the end, he delivers with East To The West, an eclectic and percussive album.
