Re-2uned

Saidul and Shaft are previous members of a band called Bengali Souljaaz. They formed the “2-man-band”, Re-2uned after Bengali Souljaaz broke up. They came up with the name “Re-2uned” (Retuned) for the purpose of clearing things up and starting fresh with a better approach to the modern music industry. The “2” in Re-2uned is written instead of “T” to symbolize the two members of the band, Saidul and Shaft.

Saidul and Shaft’s musical background dates back to late 2003. Making songs as hobbies, it soon turned out that people liked their work. Seeing the encouragement from friends, family and their Bengali community, they formed a band with three other members and came to call it Bengali Souljaa Records which became their record label title and therefore shortening the band name to Bengali Souljaaz. Their main goal was to display their talents within their Bengali community. However the band did not last long due to conflicts. But this did not stop the music for them. Seeing what they achieved in Bengali Souljaaz, Saidul and Shaft decided they will take their music internationally and therefore forming Re-2uned.

Currently underground musicians in Toronto, the roles of Saidul in Re-2uned include writing lyrics, web designing and administration, publishing and announcing band updates, graphic designing and most importantly, vocals, and Shaft’s roles include music production and composition, writing lyrics, mixing, mastering, and lastly vocals. Re-2uned has selected for their first record to be mostly hip-hop/R&B. They are currently working hard on their record in Shaft’s home studio and looking for all the support they can get from their expanding group of fans.
