But the above challenge
has not stopped Bulawayo musos from producing top quality music and one such
artiste is 22-year old Michael Jeremy Ncube, who goes by the stage name MJ
Sings.
We caught up with the
afro-pop singer to find out more about his work.
Who is MJ Sings?
My real name is Mncedisi Jeremy Ncube and
my stage name is MJ Sings. I am an Afro Pop singer-songwriter from Bulawayo
aged 22.
So when did you start doing music?
I started doing music when I was 14 years
old when I joined an accapela group called Oasis8 and for four
years I was the group’s lead singer.
Who have you worked with in the music
industry?
I have had the honour to perform alongside
great artists such as Tariro ne Gitare, iTribe, Haja from Madagascar, Josh Meck
and many more.
What are you currently working on?
At the moment I am working on my next
single which is going to drop later this month. I am also working on my first album that will
be released later this year.
So what challenges have you faced in
pursuing your music career?
The biggest challenge I have faced and still face is financial
constraints because of the unavailability of music promoters.
If more investors can
have faith in my brand and believe in it and invest then I would be Africa’s
next biggest star.
So how can people get in touch with
MJ Sings?
Well I am on twitter @MJ Sings, facebook as
MJ Sings, and You Tube as MJ Sings
MJ Sings has a single out that is
entitled Our Story and believe you me when I say Our Story is one of my new
favourite local songs. You can check out the single on You Tube and I promise
you will definitely fall in love with MJ Sings just like I did.
The track was produced by Cal-vin who
also does the rap on the joint while a musician named Beke played the guitar.
God Is Love;
Emma
