The Multi-talent Singer / Songwriter / Producer / Actor "Xzike" (Xabisile Zolani III Cakana) was born in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Born to Professor Andrew Zolani I Cakana and Melsina Nkazana Cakana, and Port Elizabeth (South Africa) grandparents Kohlile and Giyo. He moved to Ireland and England as a toddler to return home in 1996. Xzike was involved in acting and school musicals during primary school.
He takes his cue from his mother, who played several instruments and sang in church choirs. She also had a great influence on him, supported his early acting and musical aspirations by getting involved and organizing shows specifically for Xzike to showcase his talents.

In January 1997 tragedy struck, when his mother passed away from a heart ailment. This was a turning point in his life. He began to take his music and acting seriously, being selected for several high school musicals and joining the school choir in a leading role. He recorded his first song during a holiday break in Barbados, a gospel track called "Anything". Recognised for his talents in singing and songwriting, he moved to the US in 2003 to further develop his talents. He recorded his first short album called "adolescence" which he wrote and produced single handedly at this young age (Vocal recorded & mixed by the prestigious Gemini studio in Texas).

Moved to Europe (Belgium) in 2004 to establish himself with international producers who would be able to bring out his vision in song.
Xzike became the First Black Urban Artist on 2 Brains Entertainment after spending 3 years in Belgium performing in various clubs and grabbing the hearts of several Belgian youngsters and elders, he signed his first record/management deal with 2 Brains Records (home to Belgium platinum selling artists such as Kate Ryan / 2 Fabiola / Hadise).
He has now moved to the UK to further persue his dream of becoming an international Musician. Xzike is currently producting and writing for several artists in all genres and lifestyles.

Xzike had become one of the artist from Class Concept International Agency in September 2009 and is actually performing live shows in Shanghai and a China tour with C.C.I.A management and events company as unique management for all Asia.

He has been featured in Mixtape Magazine New York along side Sugababes and S.A.S

Fear No Fish formed in the spring of 2002 with one undivided goal, to bring the roots of old school rock into the modern day, without compromising their sound.

Fear No Fish are a Power Trio from Surrey. Brothers (twins actually) Mike and Chris Ransome have been rocking the UK with their intertwining and powerful vocal melodies and their fluid guitar and bass playing for years. With many a performance up and down the country, to crowds big and small, these guys take no prisoners. With “skin beater” Rob Walker joining them in late 2008, the trio are now ready to rock you like no one has ever before. You won't hear them scream. You won't hear them shout. But it's going to get damn Messy.

– There's always a bigger fish, except in this case. Their great barrier riffs ripped my face off, and then some. Brilliantly crafted songs that deserve to be heard. Not to be missed. Awesome. Guy Davis (Reuben, Freeze the Atlantic).

– Nu-skool rock with old skool roots. Either way, they kick so much arse, it doesn’t really matter. (Dan Rhodes of heavy metal outfit, Lucid)

– Face melting riffs, complex, funky bass lines and a drummer who is most likely a robot sent from the future to rid the world of sloppy tempos and boring beats. That is Fear No Fish. (Will Coeli of London rockers The Lights/Regina Coeli)
