adminHe has since launched a campaign to raise money to finish the last bits before his album launch.
The money will go towards producing and marketing the album.
In an interview with Herald Entertainment, Regina Jones, his adoptive sister, explained that in the States, an artiste signed with a major music label has to foot his bill.
“Tapiwa has managed to raise, through his website, US$6 000 of the US$7 000 needed, in the past month. He has until November 26 to come up with the remaining amount and people need to come through for him because he is representing our country well,” she said.
Mugadza, who grew his love for music during his early years at St Joseph’s orphanage for boys in Harare, is also a music composer and guitarist.
His first attempt at music was at the Garry Thompson’s A academy a few years back but he only managed to reach the top 10 before leaving for Hollywood.
According to his website, he has laid down six tracks and what is left is a professional’s touch to master it. “First impressions are everything and this is my introduction to the world.
“I have put my heart and soul into this music and I am making this for Zimbabwe.
“Your funding will help me to film a video for my first single,” he said. “Growing up in an orphanage conditioned me to think that I could not reach my wildest dreams.
“But now I am working towards reaching my highest potential.
“I want the album to inspire kids in Africa, especially in the Zimbabwe orphanages.
“They should know that the future is theirs and it does not belong to anyone else but them,” he said on his blog.
