Currently located in Milton Keynes, the ambitious duo found resounding success in winning the national competition for original artists, Live and Unsigned, in 2007. The boys competed with over 10,000 other talented acts, dominated auditions and heats of semi and regional finals and consequently won the overall Grand National Final in London. The boys performed at a level which astounded high profile celebrities judging the competition such as Liz McClarnon (Atomic Kitten), Dane Bowers (Another Level), Lee Latchford Evans (Steps) & Brian Harvey (East 17) who were all unanimous in their vote for B-Kay & Kazz as the best performers of the night.
