Tsepo OkaMaseko, a 27-year-old Afro-fusion musician from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, is making a name for himself in the country’s music scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born and raised in this vibrant city, OkaMaseko discovered his passion for music at a young age, singing in his church choir at just 10 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As he grew older, his passion only intensified, leading him to pursue a career in music at 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OkaMaseko’s hard work paid off when he won an award in a competition organized by CITE, followed by a third-place finish in the Voice2Rep competition in Harare in 2022. Since then, he’s been actively producing and releasing Afro-fusion music that resonates with his fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His music tackles meaningful themes, from spiritual growth in “Emafin” to personal struggles in “Insuku”. He also uses his platform to shine a light on important issues, such as the abuse of young girls in “Inyembezi”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OkaMaseko’s soulful sounds are a testament to his talent and dedication, cementing his place as a rising star in Zimbabwe’s music scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With hits like “Malibongwe”, an Amapiano Gospel single, OkaMaseko is sure to continue making an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, OkaMaseko’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Zimbabweans seem to have lost interest in supporting local artists, which can be disheartening for musicians who pour their hearts into their craft,” he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This lack of support stifles the growth of the music industry and deprives the nation of a potential source of pride and cultural identity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
OkaMaseko believes that with more support and enthusiasm, local artists can be given the platform they deserve to shine and showcase Zimbabwe’s unique sound to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
