Man*Z making waves in the music industry
Fairview’s Kwazi Zamani Mnqayi is set to release his debut album later this year.
The 24-year-old rapper known as Man*Z to his fast growing fan base has been described as a sensational stage act.
According to Man*Z his lyrical content finds its roots deep within his culture.
Born on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal Man*Z discovered his musical talents at the age of 11.
“I started rapping poetry which I believe is the reason my music has evolved so uniquely,” Man*Z told the EXPRESS.
While he aims to take the South African music industry by storm Man*Z has also set his sights on making a mark in the corporate world.
He has found a delicate balance between furthering his studies in banking and the release of his album.
“I work as a bank administrator, study part time towards my banking qualification and work on my album every day,” he said.
His energetic stage presence has seen him featured in the EXPRESS previously when he performed at Hofland Park in October 2011.
In January the following year Man*Z was voted as the best upcoming artist on Chora FM in KwaZulu-Natal.
He has performed at a number of clubs in Johannesburg and Durban and was featured on community radio stations Chora Fm, Newcastle Community Radio and Kasi Fm .
“I always aim to stay true to myself,” Man*Z said.
