Rob'n'Raz
Rob'n'Raz is a Swedish musician duo, consisting of Robert "Rob" Wåtz (born May 3, 1966 ) and Rasmus "Raz" Lindwall (born June 5, 1967 ).
Career
After a few years as DJs in the late 1980s, Wåtz and Lindwall decided to become producers and remixers themselves . They produced the Swedish Reggae - Pop singer Papa Dee and could thus attract attention in their home country. Then they produced the first two singles of the newcomer Leila K .: Got to Get and Rok the Nation were then able to place themselves in the charts across Europe, the accompanying album Rob'n'Raz Featuring Leila K from 1990 was also a success. But Leila K. left the project and went to hit producer Denniz PoP .
In 1993 Rob'n'Raz had a number one hit in the Swedish charts with the Eurodance single In Command . That same year she presented in the Swedish music channel ZTV the Dance Music - Magazine Clubhopping , after which they released an eponymous album in which the singer Lutricia McNeal and the rapper D-Flex participated.
In the early 2000s, Wåtz and Lindwall were on the jury for the children's casting show Småstjärnorna .
