RISING Zimbabwean gospel musician and clergyman, Bright Ndlovu a.k.a Pastor B, has called on young and upcoming musicians to cherish home grown collaborations citing authenticity and organic to drum up support.
The young cleric believes that young voices should be confident and self driven in making a name for themselves as opposed to depending social likes.
Speaking in an interview, with Standard Style on the sideline of an on going promotional campaign for his latest and second gospels musical offering, Kune Nyaya (2023), he said hard working and collaboration with other local same minded talents would be economical when break into the showbiz than paying huge sums of money to other artistes for collaborations.
"A good name is better than silver and gold. It is also my advise to local young artistes to focus on working with each together and support one another whenever need arise.
"I always meet young gifted talents who lack confidence. My message to them is let's break away from the long stand culture of believing that by working in the shadow of established artistes from big cities we are doing ourselves a favour. In reality we will be enslaving ourselves by build and cementing their relevance in the industry and at the same time locking ourselves out," he said.
Pastor B said his forthcoming 10-track album was also produced Rox Studios.
"I always find myself working best with local talents producers and backing vocalists. Home grown talents always yield sweet returns because the glory is for our city more than anything," he said.
"Ternforn Matsiwo has been a major support to the my musical career. He understand my needs as an musician and knows when best to compliment and how to do it right without reservations."
