Dr Chaii is a multi-talented Zimbabwean music producer based in Los Angeles, who's made songs for Sean Paul, Chris Brown and J Balvin. He's also been nominated for the Latin Grammy awards twice, most recently for a salsa album by Luis Figueroa.

Dr Chaii is also now an artist in his own right. In this episode of TIA, he tells DJ Edu that he started singing because no one wanted the afrobeats tracks he was making at the time. His first song, Jackie Chan, became a hit after it was featured on the Fifa video game.

Dr Chaii also reveals how terrified he was when he first went on stage, and how he transformed from conservative, clean-cut African man to a fashionista renowned for his colourful clothes and exuberant dreadlocks!
