Musical career
Supafly is best known for 2005's "Let's Get Down", which was a club hit around the world and used by the Australian television network FOX8 as their summer theme song; and for "Moving Too Fast" in late 2006, which sampled the Phil Collins' hit "Another Day in Paradise". Supafly picked up the Best Newcomer Award at the 2006 Urban Music Awards.[1]
Supafly's sound is a blend of reggae, hip hop and dance. Their success has led them to sold out tours, performing to crowds of up to 25,000.[1]
Now based in London, the group's musical style was influenced by the members' time in Melbourne, Australia. During this period, they wrote the track "Let's Get Down," which was composed during a period of record-high temperatures in Australia.[2]
