Career
He sees himself as a down-to-earth, determined musician and actor who recognised his talent for singing at the age of 12 and who has worked hard since then to get up the ladder of success. He recorded his first album in 2007, preceding this with an audition for an acting role in 2006, for the film Confessions.
“The response of the director and team to that audition surprised me pleasantly, and I got the role. It seemed I had the makings of an actor, something I had not fully recognised myself until then,” he said.
He started acting in 2006 in a movie called Confession. He was called for an audition and was chosen for the role. He has featured in quite a number of productions including City of Dreams, The Forgotten Son, Fool’s Day, Confessions, Gupuro, The Maid and Revelations. He is inspired internationally by Denzel Washington and locally he is yet to find one but he respects the hustle of Tongayi Chirisa and Leroy Gopal
Besides acting he also has a clothing label which he had put on hold because he doean't want to merchandise poorly.
