Fungai: Definitely there is
room for improvement. First
of, starting from the artists
ourselves. I think that a lot of
blame is going to the
consumers, because we are
not producing quality
products, we are not
professional. We need to be
professional, we need to
produce quality music, we
need to be artists who are
driven., who know that our
products are for the
consumers and not for
ourselves and then we can
start to push the general
public to buy our music.
Love the guitar because of the
sound that it makes. It’s a very
intimate instrument. I also play
the piano, just a little bit and
bass guitar.
done to improve it?
Fungai: The response to my
music has been quite good I must
say. I can't say that I’m new in
the game but the period that I
have been in, I have been getting
great response from people. Like
at my shows, people enjoy my
music, even people that I have
worked with have a keen interest
to my type of music and what I
can offer to them. You can see
from the line-up of artists that I
have worked with.

Fungai: The market is actually
growing, I think that I can call it
that, it’s growing. People
appreciate the culture of
acoustic music, the culture of
live performances and they want
that. There is a need to get away
from digital music and to take
time to see how acoustic music
is made. Like at the Zimbabwe
German Society, there is the
Acoustic nights, and you can see
from the crowd how they react
to the music, it is amazing! I also
perform at restaurants, one of
them is Maestro. Again, it’s
acoustic music, people want to
come in, eat, socialize and enjoy
the background.
Fungai: I don’t have an album
out yet, but I have a couple of
singles out. Most of them I
have done with a producer
called Reverb 7 from
Showtime Records. I do get
airplay and I have actually
featured on two radio stations
which are ZiFM and Star FM.
I have even done a live session
on Star FM. The singles are
mainly “Take Me Home”, “You
Found Me” and “ Beautiful
Day”.
