Zander Tyler (born February 22, 1982), better known under his stage name Jack Parow,[1] is a South African rapper. Collaborations with other South African artists include Die Heuwels Fantasties, Die Antwoord and Francois Van Coke.[2]

Career

Parow wanted to be a rapper since he was in primary school, citing Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle as an initial inspiration. Although he started rapping in English, he soon decided that he preferred Afrikaans.[3]

His first hit came with his single Cooler as Ekke, which was promoted by friends in Die Heuwels Fantasties,[4] with whom he later collaborated on their song Die Vraagstuk. He has since released four studio albums and toured around the world.[5]

In 2015 Parow released a biography, Die Ou Met die Snor by die Bar,[6] authored by local artist Theunis Engelbrecht.[7]

in 2016 Parow and his friend Hardus van Deventer shot a nine episode TV series titled Dis Hoe Ons Rol, which aired July to August 2016 on the Kyknet premium TV channel.[8] The filming took place as two legs over 30 days, during which Parow performed in each of South Africa's nine provinces at least once.[9]

In January 2017 Parow launched his own brandy product known as Parow Brandy.[10]

He is currently managed by Fokofpolisiekar and Van Coke Kartel member, Wynand Myburgh.[11]

Personal life

Parow has a daughter, Ruby Tyler, born in 2012 to his long-term girlfriend, Jenna Pietersen.[12] Ruby was the inspiration for Parow's 2014 song Dis Befok,[13] and video footage for the 2016 remix of the song was shot by her via a chest-mounted camera.[14]

Discography

Jack Parow's first release was the Cooler as ekke EP in December 2009. It was released as a limited edition of 600 USB flash drives in the shape of an ice-cream-cone and featured 10 songs and 6 music videos.
