She celebrates her birthday on January 27th every year. After doing our research, details about her parents are not available and it is also not known if she has any siblings. How did you feel winning such an award? FM: I feel honoured and excited to be finally recognised in my profession.
It is, however, my hope for women to make it too even where our male counterparts are involved. I do not get so carried away with awards though, because I believe in my best shot at everything, even when it does not prove to be the overall best sometimes. FM: I have been a nominee in so many categories on almost all Zimbabwean award ceremonies held in the past 16 years.
But I have not been so lucky as it turned out that there were better artists than me. FM: It is about my multi-faceted personality which some people may fail to understand. I am a sum of a degree in Sociology, a diploma in Marketing Management, a certificate in Fashion Designing and Christianity beliefs. As a result, I am many things in one and others get confused when they see so many attributes in one person.
For example, when I apply basic marketing management principles to my music career, as was the case in the Red Rose Entertainment Shingisai Saga, I was misunderstood based on socially constructed misconceptions of what a Christian artist should be. While others mistake Christianity for dullness, vulnerability and stupidity, I find joy in applying my academics for the development of my career like everyone else. I always uphold and defend my dream even if it means going against the norm because I know that time vindicates truth.
FM: I cut across genres to cater for a diverse audience with varying music tastes, but I am rooted in Zimbabwean traditional sounds — Chimurenga and Chikende. God blessed me beyond measure such that I am comfortable with any beat and I am not afraid of adopting and adding any new and trendy beats to my catalogue.
I have learnt to diversify due to the exposure I got over the years. Then I sang the song Mbiri YaJesu, but I then realised the importance of embracing and accommodating human differences. I now design my performances modestly according to the social context and this has made it possible for me to be relevant to varying audiences across all demography. However, whatever and whenever I sing, I always maintain the positive message with the aim of impacting positively on my society across all demography.
FM: Every song is inspired by God and unique in itself. Every song is meant to address different social and spiritual topics, hence I cannot compare them as they save different purposes. All of them are my brainchild and I will compare them to my physical children who all mean the same to me. The song currently sits on over YouTube views in a space of two months.
