adminThe studio, expected to be completed shortly, will be the centrepiece of the urban grooves artiste’s effort to search for gifted musicians who can be part of his new project, Music Bank. He said he is working with his friend Steven Steven on the project which has already signed Rockford “Roki” Josphats.
X-Q said they want to use that opportunity to groom musicians who still need assistance to make an impact in the music industry.
“We are looking for musicians that we can sign under the Music Bank project.
“Our company will groom these musicians and at the same time record their music for better marketing,” he said.
X-Q said their search is going to cover all the corners of the country and their recording would be done for free.
“Our studio which is in Kwekwe is almost complete and these up and coming musicians will be recorded for free,” he said.
X-Q said Zimbabwe had a lot of talented musicians who were lacking exposure.
“I have been in this industry for a long time and I have discovered that musicians lack exposure,” he said.
X-Q said Music Bank had so far managed to sign John Pfumojena and Roki.
“We are only signing those people whom we believe have got talent to give us what we want.
“So for now we have only managed to sign Roki and John,” he said.
X-Q said they are set to travel to different parts of the country in search of musicians.
“Last week we were in Gokwe and we are going to continue travelling meeting different musicians hoping that by the end of August everything will be ready,” he said.
X-Q is one of the pioneers of the urban grooves genre that came to life around 2000. He has worked with many musicians who include Leonard Mapfumo, Roki and Maskiri on different successful projects.
