The story of multinational hip-hop trio (Isam Bachiri, Lenny Martinez and Waqas Qadri) Outlandish began in
Copenhagen’s western suburbs in 1997. Outlandish’s music became known as a “socio-cultural melting pot.” The
group’s debut disc, Outland’s Official, was well received by critics and their grassroots audience alike, the first
single Walou quickly became a smash hit creating waved across Europe.

2 years later they released Bread & Barrels of Water (Guantanamo and Aicha) Outlandish charted with established
international pop stars on Top 40 lists across the globe, followed by extensive touring and eventually gold and
platinum record status. In 2005 the band created their most stylistically versatile record yet.

Closer Than Veins touched new depths of musical creativity, as well as political and social consciousness. Songs like
Look into my eyes, I only ask of God and especially one of their biggest hits Calling You raised their profile.

these albums such as Rock All Day, feels like saving the world, Ready to love and Warrior have become favorites
amongst fans.

duo. they have released 4 singles since, This Moment, Root for You, Let It Go, Higher and What About Love.
