about

Egyptian Nursery's roots can be traced back to the meeting of a thin North Englander and a Rubenesque redhead from Mauritius in Johannesburg in July of 1995. They started writing, producing, and recording songs together (at the rate of one a night), and with the arrival of a Zairean rapper, the line-up was completed.

Their debut album "New Anthem" was released in 1998, with its singles storming up the domestic charts for the next two years and garnering Dodds a "Best Producer" SAMA (South African Music Award) in 1999.

The album was also released internationally as "God's Window" in Europe via Blue Flame Records and distributed by BMG.
