Unlike other artist that I have a long relationship with. I’ve only known Chile One MrZambia for slightly over a year. Stepped on his music and I was convinced he was just the one. With no single attachment to him as a person. In the past year I’ve had deep conversations with him around music, life, circumstances and situations.
4th January this year he called and we literally spent the whole day on the phone. From morning till around 18hrs.
In the evening of it..he was like Big man I want to speak out. When i speak i will feel better.
I’ve a song i want to drop like immediately. I said No. Not now, what ever you will do will be misrepresentation. Just take your cool and have it that way. He was deeply emotional.
Next thing was he sent me a song. Not what we are listening today , but something completely different and when I say different, I mean completely different.
He says this is what I want to drop, I gave reasons why I felt the timing could have been bad, and a listening person he is, we agreed to hold.
Last month I called him, I said “I think that song can be dropped now”
He told me ati “Awe Mwalinkanya Imwe, elo me I listen to you” so nshafunye.
This song has just cemented my belief that this guy can do anything. He’s a good writer and he fully understands the various music elements. His numbers on social platforms are also giving him a very good and steady position not only in Zambia but around the region.
This is like the 5th producer I’ve seen him work with , he definitely know who to work with and the expected output this may also be the 4th Video Director he’s working with. Now that is being artistic.
If you ever doubted Chile One, I strongly urge you to believe, he is here to stay!
I remember when I was young I used to tell Drimz Mr. Muziq ati uyu umwaiche wakulekafye.
