Tendai Joe said in light of this milestone, Andrea The Vocalist’s album, initially planned for release on January 28, will now be launched towards the end of February.
“This adjustment ensures a meticulously polished album, with technical developments in recording, mixing, and mastering contributing to the overall quality. The album will feature 13 tracks, including “Bekezela”, “Uhambo”, “Amanxeba”, and “Lizombona”. Some collaborations to expect feature artistes such as Bethany Pasinawako, Amaqaqa, Vocal Ex, Tony Witness, Rudzani Rams (SA), Sebastian Magacha, and Snowy from Bulawayo.
“Andrea The Vocalist looks forward to expanding his repertoire and engaging in more performances during school holidays. It’s been two and a half years of building brand Andrea the Vocalist, and we can say, the road has not been easy, but we keep going. We appreciate the support from Andrea’s parents Mr Ntando Sibanda and his mother, Mrs Sinelisiwe Ncube, Plot Mhako of Earground, Tinashe Mutarisi of NashTV, and Mrs Mirriam Hakata for consistently supporting us,” said Tendai Joe.
Andrea The Vocalist is skillfully managed by Tendai Joe (JBross Entertainment) and Tokyo Nkanyiso Moyo (road manager and Zimbabwean business handler).
