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.

This milestone comes barely days after he tagged himself the King of Highlife when some social media users began comparing him to other artistes.
