Kodor Zaher known by his stage name Karter Zaher ("KZ") is a Lebanese Canadian singer, songwriter, rapper and author.[1][2]

Background and education

Zaher was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario and attended Carleton University, where he met Jae Deen and both started the "Deen Squad" movement.[3] He is a Muslim.[4]

Career

Karter Zaher is a co-founder of the music duo “Deen Squad” that launched in 2015, along with his partner Jae Deen. [5] The band received notable recognition for adding an “Islamic“ twist to mainstream billboard hits - such as "God’s Plan" by Drake, "Havana" by Camila Cabello, and more.[6][7] Their story was covered by BBC,[8] CNN Arabia,[9] The Fader[10] and other news media.[11][12]

The Deen Squad band reached over 200 million views by creating “Halal Remixes”.[13][6][4]

Zaher was influenced to write and rap by listening to Tupac and Eminem. He played a major role in developing Deen Squad since January 2015 but after his manager Sami Abboud shut him out of the company in May 2019, he became a solo artist and started his own record label named “Holy Sound".[14][15] [16]

Zaher and his band performed for Canada’s 150th year celebration in Toronto and was supposedly the opening act for Justin Bieber on his purpose tour in Dubai.[17][18]
