Rou: It was at the tender age of 16, me and the rest of the ES crew got to gether, and well, things just kicked off.

Rou: We feel it emphasises what we feel inside, any other genre would’nt be right for us.

So, at what age did you kick off your music career?

Are you planning a new album?

Rou: Yes, we are. Of course we cannot give the exact details, however, we are releasing a new album...soon.

The British Electronic band Gorillaz, has a new member to their list. Originated from Essex, Gorillaz are well known for their unique style of electronic/hip hop music, which judging from their sales, people enjoy, extremely. The new recruit, Zain, seemed to impress both band lead-ers Damon Albarn and British cartoonist Jamie Hewlett at the Gorillaz Auditions held in London, last week. Good news for him, he’ll be signing a 5 year contract with the electronic giants.

Zain (Seen above) seems chuffed with his achievement, and rightly so. He aced passed his other 25 contestants in a sing off. Albarn and Hewlett clearly saw ‘his tal-ent’, and wasted no time in hiring him. Zain’s family and friends back home in Birmingham are anxiously waiting his ar-rival. He returns this Saturday to his home town. What does he get? Well, a contract with Gorillaz and he’s now working on his first track, due to release soon.

We at Electrock Magazine, had the chance to Exclusively interview Zain. and ask him a couple-o questions.

Electrock: To start , You must be booming with eupho-ria

Zain : Yes, the feeling is, quite frankly, indescribable. Argu-ably, the greatest moment of my short life.

Electrock : What are you plans with Gorillaz?

Zain : Well, hopefully recording my first new song, due to release sometime this year name ‘New Recruit’.

Electrock : Lastly, what will you do when you return home?

Zain: Enjoy my success with family and friends, of course!

So there you have it folks, Zain, formerly a Sixth Form Student, is now the newest member, of Gorillaz. We wish him the very best. with his new career.
