Bio

Collectively known as Times x Two, Cader and Zee aren't just rappers. They're producers, singers, songwriters, and all-round emerging young businessmen. Based in Auckland, they create catchy-yet-thoughtful music informed by a diverse range of influences including Drake, Kanye West, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Outkast just to name a few.

Firm friends since primary school days, they're a tightly knit unit. Having met when they were just 8 years old, they bonded over a shared love for hip-hop and have been creating music together ever since. They formed the group TIMES x TWO after finishing high school when they realised that music was the right career path for them.

Over the last few years TIMES x TWO have built a buzz for themselves online through the release of numerous singles and music videos. As a result of their reputation and considered talents, they've wowed stages all across New Zealand, made three loved appearances at the Rhythm & Vines NYE festival, and have opened up for the likes of A$AP Rocky, Kid Ink, T-Pain, A$AP Ferg and G-Eazy.

With their families hailing from Zimbabwe and Iraq respectively, TIMES x TWO navigate a new internationalism in both music and life in general. They've grown up equally informed by their family backgrounds, the tone of New Zealand, and of course the American, Canadian and English music cultures that inspire their creative output.

With impressive skills as music makers, for TIMES x TWO, their goals are tangible dreams. As their earworm hooks, trunk-thumping beats, kinetically emotive verses and attitude attests to, they have the talent level, work ethic and artistic vision to rock stages across the globe.
