About Me

I believe i am as simple as they come. I am just me, don't really sweat about much, i have hopes, i have dreams, i have intentions. There is more to me than a myspace profile can ever relay but for the purpose music is something i am really into. It has been a difficult but interesting journey for me. I continue to learn every single day and know more about life in general. How it all started?In 2003, a good friend of mine DJ Solid asked me to do a radio jingle for one of the popular DJs, DJ Hence, at the then Radio 3. I did it gladly and got recognition from a number of people for the work. 2003 was the year that did it all for me in the early months got invited to do a duet with an upcoming artist called Airax. Apparently she heard about me from the grapevine. So we teamed up and did a song called Not A Fool which got a lot of airplay leading to us being invited for a live radio interview. I began working on my album with the producer G.Fingerz with whom i recorded my first single entitled 'Partie 4 Love'. Tony G then approached me to join him at Baseline Studios. I just could not turn down this offer. At that time we started on tracks(Inoita and Unodei) for the Picatto Era Compilation which also included the smash hit ChiDanger by Nasty Trixx.

The single Inoita which was the first to be released from the album First Half, made its debut on PowerFM Zimbabwe late 2004 initially on The Underground then getting regular spins the following year. With an infectious rhythm and a catchy chorus (Ndikadai ukadai... Inoita!!!) you simply cannot resist to get on the dancefloor and do whatchu gotta! The second single Ndichifunga Iwe has done very well over the years and debuted at Number 1 on Zonet Radio Top 10 charts in February 2006 running on the number 1 spot for 8 weeks and within the same 3 months also got airplay on Zimloxion Radio as well as Zimnet Radio which are all Zimbabwean Internet Radio Stations.I am currently working on a new album having released some singles last year (2008) to the radio stations and a few projects at that. My new single is Vakataura produced by Fresqo of Fanocee Records and it is featured on the Thicker Than Water Compilation for the Zimbabwe Cholera Appeal which is the getting together of artists to help fight cholera in Zimbabwe. More news soon! Otherwise music mazuvano music haisi kunyanyobhadara saka ndakushamarara pamhepo http://www.xbcjumpoff.mypodcast.com pamwe ndingazodyawo zvinonaka next week!!!
