Band/artist history
Started singing during my high school days, while singing in church and forming choral groups that i would lead. Recorded my first song soon after high school when i was just trying to articulate how much i was in love with some girl sic,,,I listened to the vocals they were almost like the ones i used to hear on radio so i just thought of getting serious with songwriting. I wrote more than 100 unrecorded songs in a span of four years as i was concentrating on my studies. Sadly when i graduated i never got chance to record any of the songs as i lost the writing pads i was using when i donated my previous academic stuff to other juniors. Got back to my feet and recorded few singles each year between 2012-2014 including one for dancehall.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Just had a couple of shows locally, I really liked it and looking forward to more energetic perfomances like the ones we had before.
Your musical influences
Because my middle name sounds like AKON, i ended up listening to a lot of Akon growing up. I also liked KNaan,Wyclef Jean,R Kelly and some Zimbabwean musicians like Roki and late Andy Brown
