A talentless "artist" from the British Virgin Islands, "discovered" via MySpace by Sean Kingston.
His first single, titled "Replay" is very cliché and easily forgettable. Too ignorant to note that an iPod does not have a "replay" function (it is known as "repeat"), Iyaz's debut single relates a girl he has recently met with a melody he cannot rid his mind of (and thus a comparison to said non-existent "replay" function of an Apple iPod). Furthermore, a brand name-drop such as that of an iPod was not entirely necessary; a generic "mp3 player" would have sufficed in the situation.
The aforementioned single also makes use of the term shawty, almost as if to be "hip" or "fresh." Note how these two latter terms are as (if not, more) dated than the former, which speaks volumes about how desperate Iyaz must have been in the search for potential listeners.
tl;dr an awful artist.

"Iyaz? What's that, a portmanteau of iPad and Yaz, the birth control pill?"
"No... it's a singer. But close enough."
