Mzoe 7
Mzoe 7 cemented his status as Bulawayo’s most daring live act. In October, he rewrote the rulebook with his historic I Am Who I Am one-man show at the Bulawayo Theatre.
It was not just a concert but a theatrical experience where music, drama and a live band turned hits like Asambeni into raw anthems. Off stage, his influence grew as he was named among the 100 Most Influential Young Zimbabweans for the second time.
Everton Mlalazi
Gospel thrived in 2025 and Everton Mlalazi stood tall. Named Africa Gospel Male Artist of the Year at the CLIMA Africa Awards and a winner at the Eswatini National Gospel Awards, he topped charts with Ngeke Kulunge.
From Ekhaya Worship Festival to sharing the stage with Spirit of Praise, Mlalazi proved gospel has star power.
Bhila
Bhila enjoyed a golden year capped by a sold-out one-man concert at the Bulawayo Theatre. Songs like Emaweni and Wamuhle struck a chord as he blended Imbube and Maskandi with Afro-Pop and African Trap.
Noluntu J
Fearless and commanding, Noluntu J ruled hip-hop stages with authority. Her electric performances and signature blazing blue hair made her impossible to ignore.
Winning Best Live Act at the 15th Zim Hip-Hop Awards sealed a year that confirmed her rise from the mentorship of the late Cal_Vin to a national powerhouse.
Insimbi, ZeZhwane
The Tshibilika Kings brought fire wherever they performed. Led by Meluleki “Brema” Moyo, Insimbi ZeZhwane fused raw energy with cultural pride, setting stages ablaze at the SWAN Music Festival and the Heroes Day Family Fun Show.
