Zain Bhikha writes his own material, and his songs focus on his personal life experiences and spirituality. His aim is to deliver the message of Islam and instil a sense of hope. In 1994, he entered a singing competition hosted by a local radio station, and despite recording his song on a karaoke machine, he won. This win motivated him to produce an album, and later on in 1994, his album, A Way of Life, was released and well received by the Muslim community. Zain Bhikha went on to produce more albums, and he was soon noticed by Yusuf Islam – the Muslim artist previously known as Cat Stevens. Yusuf Islam arranged for Zain Bhikha to record at his Mountain of Light Studios in the UK, and he began to be represented by Jamal Records - Mountain of Light’s cultural label. In 2005, he set up his own recording company in South Africa – Zain Bhikha Studios, and the profits from his album sales now go to several charities.
