In an interview with Zimpapers Arts and Entertainment Hub, Shone said performing in front of thousands of fans has been a dream come true for him.
“Performing in front of 50,000 people at Roger’s Stadium was an exhilarating experience. The energy was electric; you could feel the collective excitement in the air. As I stood on stage, I was a mix of nerves and adrenaline.
“I focused on the music and the connection with the audience, reminding myself that this was a celebration of art and unity. Being part of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour was surreal.
“Their stage presence and production quality set a high bar, and I felt honored to share that moment with such a talented group of artists and fans,” he said.
The young artiste plans to apply the lessons learned from this experience to his future projects, experimenting with different sounds while maintaining the essence of his culture.
“My involvement in the Music of the Spheres World Tour has been transformative for my career as a Zim Hip-hop artist. It opened doors to new audiences and showcased the power of collaboration across genres.

“This journey has inspired me to push boundaries and aim higher in my artistry,” he said.
The tour, which has become the highest-attended concert tour of all time, has taken Shone to various parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
