A force to reckon with that people have seemingly been turning a blind eye to is a musician and songwriter, Adoe (real name Vuyo Dube) a versatile musician from Cowdray Park who wishes that his music can be listened to by people all over the world.
“I’d love to be received beyond my city and country. I want different audiences across the globe to relate to my message,” he said.
Adoe, a musician who ventured into music at a very young age said he gets inspiration from South African musicians Nathi Mankayi and The Soil.
“Music is an inborn thing and at the same time, it’s a calling. I started singing when I was very young. When I was 15, I joined an isicathamiya group called Amaqhawe eNkosi and I used to sing in a church choir,” said the 25-year-old.
The artiste described himself as an Afro-pop and Afro-soul singer who is versatile as he has worked on different genres.
Asked how people are receiving his music, the artiste said they are receiving it with warm hearts as some of his songs that he sings speak to people in different ways.
“People relate to my music because I sing about what they resonate to. I released a single this year titled Abasekho featuring Smashmaker and it topped charts on Skyz Metro FM Top 20. In essence, this showed that it was appealing to the audience,” he said.
So far, the musician has released five singles, African Queens featuring Amaqaqa, Abasekho featuring Smashmaker, Vuka, Forever featuring Smashmaker, Mama and an EP which was produced by Murphy Cubic titled Uvuyo noThando.
He is working on his debut album which he hopes to release soon.
Adoe is set to perform at MJ Sings’s Umuzi album launch next weekend at Bulawayo Theatre. – @TashaMutsiba
