United Kingdom based gospel singer Tariro Masawi says his marriage breakdown inspired him to raise awareness on mental health and domestic violence issues.
He once hinted on his drive to create awareness around the mental health and hailed everyone who reached out to support his noble cause.
The artist has plans to move to Zimbabwe where he intends to work with partners and charities who are already doing good works creating awareness.
“Mental health is treated as a taboo within our society and its time we start to look closely at what we been doing, and change.
“Zimbabwe as a country is working hard to move forward therefore it’s vital that issues such as mental health are not left behind.
“Art such as comedy and music has a great role to play in creating awareness therefore, I urge fellow artists to include mental health in their music and art,” he said.
Masawi who is currently single says he suffered mental health after breakdown of his marriage.
“As a man I did not know where to get the support needed or how to open up around these matter. “Within my art I try my best to tackle issues such as domestic violence and child poverty.
“I am now focusing on finding a good wife.
“It’s a sad situation that our country finds itself in but I believe art is a good start in changing the narrative.”
The singer recently realised a song called Ndangariro which is about grief and loss.
“Within the song you can hear from start to finish the pain and confusion that grief can bring.
“But I am getting over it now. My music is available on platform such as YouTube, Spotify, iTunes etc.”
