CELEBRATED music producer, Clive “Mono” Mukundu, has urged artists to learn from past experiences.
He believes in originality, the gospel he has been sharing both online and in pubic conversations.
Yesterday, Mono took his fans down memory lane when he posted his picture, from over two decades ago, in borrowed clothes.
Speaking to H-Metro, Mono said it was important for an artist to keep records from the past as it helps grow their personalities.
“There is a saying that says history informs the present,” he told H-Metro.
“The reason why we study history is to study the future.
“By keeping records, it now helps your personality to know where you are coming from, what you have achieved in your journey.
“I urge artists to learn from their past and also their history as this will help those who have an interest in writing books about the entertainment industry.
“Having past records also gives a chance to those willing to do documentaries about artists.
“I always encourage videographers to do documentaries but most of them say it is difficult because most artists don’t have pictures and videos from the past.”
Mono also talked about Leonard Dembo who also refused to have his pictures taken in public.
“We had the issue with Leonard Dembo who always refused to have pictures in public.
“Keeping records helps to compete with myself, it motivates me whenever I take a look at my pictures from the past.
“My biggest highlight on my music journey was working with the late Oliver Mtukudzi.”
