A remix of one of Bisa Kdei’s songs has been used as a soundtrack in Netflix’s 2020 Christmas movie Jingle Jangle.
The song written specifically for the movie is a remix of his 2018 hit 'Asew'.
Unlike the original which talks about a young man addressing his in-law, 'Asew Jingle Jangle' focuses on a grandchild who is speaking to her grandfather.
