zimchick - everyday i'm hustlin

About Me

Music is intrinsically woven into the fabric of my life. I enjoy food, people, laughing and life. I am passionate about many things. Like celebrating the beautiful continent of africa. And discovering new things, new places, new ideas and ways of looking at the world. And sleep. I was born on a hot day in zimbabwe, africa and so my mood is affected by the sun. I prefer summers to the winters and I live in London so I have the ability to adapt. I take inspiration from africa - always! And from the unconditional love and support of my family and friends. From my three beautiful sisters, the warrior queen in my mother and the warrior princess in my daughter.
