Wasafi’s Zuchu is arguably one of the biggest female artists in Africa at the moment. Having been in the background learning the art at WCB records, she is proof that patience pays.
Looking at her career seven months after being unveiled by Wasafi, there are key lessons other female artistes can learn from her.
This article rounds up some of the lessons female artistes can learn from Zuchu:
Consistency
Since her unveiling earlier this year, the skepticism about her talent became obvious until she dropped her EP ‘I am Zuchu. The five songs in the EP were released back to back followed by visuals where fans got to understand her style of music. Since then, she has been on an upward music release trend with her latest double ‘Litawachoma’ and ‘Cheche’ featuring Diamond Platnumz.
Passion
Looking her music you realize Zuchu oozes passion in her music. The fact that she consults her senior Wasafi colleagues is clear indication of what passion is all about. Having given her 4 years just in the background is a good show of the beauty of passion.
Talent and Creativity
Zuchu is super creative in her writing. Swahili songs are rather complicated especially for you to get many people across the world to appreciate the music. From what we know, Zuchu writes all her music thus making her one of the few female artists that can create their own music.
Utilize opportunities given
Zuchu was given the opportunity to show the world what she is capable of and she grabbed the opportunity like her life depended on it. Her music passion became an obsession and her management at WCB did not let her down either. She uses all forms of media to maintain her Image in terms of fashion, music and most of all her business.
Take time and learn
Being in a learning curve, Zuchu believes every day is a learning process thus being in the limelight has made her understand that as an artist, you have to possess certain qualities including being able to dance to the tune when need be. This is evident in her latest releases.
