RISING Zimbabwean artist, KayC Pricosh, says his song was selected as the soundtrack for a Nollywood movie starring legendary actor, Mike Ozuruonye.
Born Knowledge Chitsinde in Harare, the 24-year-old civil engineer has been attracting the attention of African superstars since his cover of the song ‘People’ by Libianca, went viral on social media.
“I am very grateful that my music is receiving so much love across Africa and my goal is to elevate the Zimbabwean flag to international levels,” said Pricosh.
The movie titled “Denying Hope,” featuring Mike Ozuruonye, premiered on NollyRok Studios and can also be found on YouTube.
Asked about how the song HOPE, which serves as the movie’s soundtrack, came about, Pricosh emphasised that he was connected with Nigerian producer Sean Beats, who happens to be D’banj’s producer.
“Sean Beats was tasked with creating the music for the movie, and he reached out to me to write a song in line with the movie’s theme and title, ‘Denying Hope’,” said Pricosh.
This is not Pricosh’s first achievement this year.
He recently toured Ghana after being invited by Ghanaian professional footballer Joseph Paintsil, who is also a midfielder for the Belgian club Genk, and a fan of Pricosh’s musical talent.
Paintsil invited the young musician to his home, where he met his siblings and family, and had the opportunity to be interviewed on one of Ghana’s top musical shows.
“Even to this day, I can’t believe such an opportunity came my way. Paintsil contacted me on Instagram after my cover of ‘People’ went viral, and then he invited me to Ghana.
“It was a truly mind-blowing experience.”
Joseph Paintsil’s humility is unparalleled.
Despite being a superstar, he treated everyone with genuine humility and respect.
“During his stay in Ghana, Pricosh also had the opportunity to meet Ghana’s top videographer and businessman, C Real, as well as acclaimed spoken word artist Rhythm Sonny.
Additionally, he engaged in discussions with Kweku, one of Ghana’s most prominent artists, to explore potential future music projects that would blend the sounds of Ghana and Zimbabwe.
“Life has been my greatest and most effective inspiration. Battling depression silently, I turned to music as an outlet to express my emotions.
“This therapeutic approach allowed me to relax and gradually fall in love with song writing,” added Pricosh.
