When you grow up with privilege, it is easy to assume that a lot of things will be handed to you and your life choices will be, smooth sailing. It becomes different when the thing you desire to be good at can never be bought by any amount of money, and you still need to work hard at it, practise, put in the effort because simply, money in your pocket will not guarantee you any successes in the artform of music. It is because riches can only influence to a certain aspect of the art, the other variables involved tend not to care or are even judgemental towards it.
Ishē has had to attend music school, star as a young Wacko Jacko at HIFA opening ceremony and endure losing and regaining his voice during puberty to get to a point where he is right now where he is eager to have more people listen to his music.
He sings R'n'B and Neo Soul and as a writer, he has largely taken most of his experiences from his life. His upcoming projects further explore his vocal abilities and range and when I asked him if his sound is synonymous with Zimbabwe and it's market, he replied: "All music we call African-American is a product of Africa. We must embrace it all and look forward to a time when we celebrate it more than we do now."
We went deep into the many aspects that make him an artist and why very little is written about him and his craft. He has appeared on a handful of interviews and has been a bit media shy but says that is changing now after having finished his exams and with time on his hands to now build his brand.
