United Kingdom-based promoter Blessing Manhando is set to open a new studio in Mbare. Named Propabless Entertainment, the studio which is almost complete is set to be launched next month.

Manhando said the passion to support local music has led him to come back and assist Zimbabwean artistes who are finding it difficult to make it in the music industry.

“I just feel I have to give back to society, not everyone is given a chance in life, some people have talent but it’s never realised until someone gives them the map and opportunity to do so

“I bought all the equipment in UK so we are looking forward to produce quality music for our artistes,” he said.

He said the studio will cater for artistes from different genres.

“I am not going to be working with artistes from one genre, the studio is open to every artiste be it sungura, urban grooves or dancehall. What I want is to support local music in any way I can,” he said.

He said he has just finished working with Extra Large and three other artistes whose names could not be revealed for professional reasons.

He said the experience he got while working with both local and international artistes was enough to assist upcoming artistes.

“We have just finished doing a project featuring Extra Large and three girls from Mbare, it’s a good song which talks about child abuse and poverty,” he said.
