Mad Bwoy Khaki adopts new feel

By Munashe Rungano

South African based urban grooves artiste, Mad Bwoy Khaki, real name Shephard Munjanji has left the genre, urban grooves, which launched his musical journey to tap on reggae music.

The singer who made his name in the game with the hit track Runondipengesa, a duet with Tererai Mugwadi when urban grooves ruled the roost said the decision was arrived at owing to the dynamics and rife competition in showbiz.

The Chimanimani bred artiste told Showbiz that his lifetime desire was to be a reggae musician but to kick off his career he had to conform to the urban grooves frenzy.

“My first studio attempt was under Delani Makhalima’s Galaxy Records at that time urban grooves was hot. Anyone with a dream of making it musically had to be part of it. Considering also the massive airplay it got any aspiring artiste had little or no choice,” he said.

“But times change. A few years fast forward the once mighty movement is nearing extinction. That’s when you can select the men from the boys. Real artistes emerge from that and mould into bigger brands and this is why l took the opportunity to re-invent and refurbish myself.”

Mad Bwoy Khakhi who has since started releasing singles online, said a full reggae album was in the pipeline. He said he believed the album would announce and cement his intentions on breaking the international market.
As if to set momentum on his vision the artiste has roped in UK based producer Bass Line Rock and a number of prominent Jamaican artistes namely, Bay C from TOK and Froggy a product of Maad Squad on a single titled Run Di Place.

He said: “I am now focusing on the big stage. For one to make it big they have to aim big and stroll in that direction. Collaborations with popular figures help in scaling my music to the next stage.”

The artiste, who also works during the week as a Mukuru.com consultant, said he has also started recording in English to ensure a wider appeal.

The singer went on to attribute the recent fading of Zim dancehall‘s popularity to lack of creativity and growth.

He said he has taken a brief break from live performances to finish up the studio work and assess market reaction as he releases singles in the run up to the completion of his album.
