Jahbue: The Inspiration

Due to being exposed to various cultures in Southern Africa, JAHBUE has managed to blend all the diverse elements of music to create a beautiful Afro-centric sound that is uniquely JAHBUE.

JAHBUE grew up singing in the church choir like most successful musicians in Africa and beyond. It was in the church where he learnt to play musical instruments such as the piano, keyboards and guitars.

JAHBUE majors mostly on the piano because that't the instrument that was highly accessible. At home there was one and when he joined Gifford High School they also had pianos. It was here at Gifford where he met one of Bulawayo's top session musicians. That;s when he started majoring in jazz and playing cover versions of jazz legends such as Jabu Khanyile, Oliver Mtukudzi and Hugh Masekela.

Concurrently with playing jazz, the House music genre exploded into the scene and infiltrated Bulawayo. It was at this time where JAHBUE had the idea of fusing House music with Zimbabwean rhythms. But due to academic commitments and lack of resources in Bulawayo, it was a dream that he ended up realising only recently.

JAHBUE plans to saturate Africa as a whole with his music and create a viable career choice in Zimbabwe, as the music industry is in dire need of fresh ideas. His long term goal is to ultimately own his very own Recording label which will create opportunities for the youth and keep the music industry sustained.
