Backing Vocalist Upgrades Self To The Front




Forget Kuweyo has been a backing vocalist for a range of successful musicians. Noel Zembe, Blessing Shumba, Rev Chivaviro, Obert Mazivisa, Lewis Ngara, Daniel Mhere just to mention a few.



Fofo as she is referred to in the music circles, decided to take the bull by its horns by taking the same opportunity her former bosses uses to spread the word of God. The idea to lead her own band has always been there from the time she started singing. Fofo took backing other artists as learning process. 

"The music industry is not easy to break into, so I had to learn through others", she said  

She branded her Solo effort to Forget Kuweyo Music, its a full live band that performs at concerts, church revivals and even at private functions. She has recorded 2 albums and 5 singles. Nguva ya Mwari was her first album in 2016. The 5 singles were done in 2017, while the second album Murairo was produced in 2019)



Two of her songs have had the merit of being compiled on to the prestigious Coca-Cola top 50. The songs are Aripo and Giroriya. Fofo says she realised she can do it after gaining a lot of experience as a backing vocalist. Her goal is to rise and continue to entertain the multitudes of Christians at the same time turn people to God.

Love, Sex, and Marriage: Three Sides of the Same Coin

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga In today’s society, the lines between love, sex, and marriage are often blurred. Sex has been commercialized and portrayed as a pleasurable act, while love is taught through upbringing and personal experiences. Marriage, on the other hand, has become a duty where two people often find themselves tied together due to sex and social prestige. Love vs. Sex Sex is a natural instinct, while love is a cultivated emotion that allows us to accommodate someone who is not ourselves. As I often say in my sessions with young adults, every creature that reproduces enjoys sex. However, it’s love that sets us apart. We can plan and work on love, tolerating and forgiving someone who is different from us. Love disciplines us on who to have sex with, and mutual desire is a design of our own making. While sex and love are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Sex is driven by inner feelings that aim to satisfy reproduction, whereas love is a choice that req...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...

Richness is Not a Coincidence, While Poverty is a Choice

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga  Even when circumstances seem to offer no alternatives, choices still exist. These choices might be limited, oppressive, or unappealing, but they are choices nonetheless. The decision to pursue richness, unlike the circumstances that lead to poverty, is often deliberate and hard-won. Richness is not a chance occurrence; it is created. Those who achieve it have typically made conscious decisions, defying odds and pushing beyond familiar territories. In contrast, poverty often results from coerced or timid choices, stemming from situations created by those who comprehend the nature of richness. Strategies to Evade Poverty 1. Seek Opportunities, Even When None Seem Apparent : Be proactive, network, think creatively, and take calculated risks. 2. Don't Wait for Validation from Others ; Take Initiative: Self-validate, set your own goals, take ownership, and be decisive. 3. Overcome Objections and Challenges : Anticipate obstacles, develop problem-...
