REGGAE crooner, Emmanuel “Mannex” Motsi, said resilience and hard work have made him a darling of many.
The singer, who started off as an urban grooves artist with the now defunct Bootkin Clan, said he has evolved.
“With maturity, we need to keep on reinventing the wheel. We started music doing urban grooves, but I discovered where I belong.
“I am now a reggae artist and many people can easily identify me with my music,” he said.
Mannex, who holds at least four shows per week, said proper management had made him a successful artist.
“I have realised that I needed to work hard, but all that hard work needs to be complemented by professional handlers.
“I work with a vibrant team of managers who want things to be done by the book.
“My only responsibility is singing while other things are handled by my management team,” he said.
Mannex, who had a successful stint with Transit Crew, said he was also willing to learn from others.
“As an artist, there is a need to create synergies with others for growth. I have realised that you can never win the game without seeking ideas from others.
“Our industry is not for those who are selfish with ideas because you will definitely need others in the game.
“We should also invest in collaborations and avoid being selfish,” he said.
Famed for such club bangers as Munhu Mutema, Anoti Nyo, Rose, among others, Mannex reckons he is striking the right chords.
