Bio
Jack Parow is a South African rapper and hip‑hop artist, best known for performing in Afrikaans and becoming one of the most recognisable figures from the country’s alternative music scene. Born Zander Tyler on 22 February 1982 in Parow, Cape Town, he initially drew inspiration from American hip‑hop before switching to Afrikaans lyrics to express his identity more directly. Parow rose to fame with hit singles like “Cooler as Ekke”, which earned him international airplay and viral attention, and has released several studio albums showcasing his energetic and humorous style. He’s collaborated with well‑known South African acts such as *Die Heuwels Fantasties*, *Die Antwoord*, and *Fokofpolisiekar* and has toured worldwide, building a diverse following beyond South Africa. Beyond music, Parow has expanded into other ventures including publishing his autobiography, starring in TV series, and launching his own brandy product — reflecting his broader cultural impact.
