NOCK Nox Guni is marking a new career high as he celebrates his 20th anniversary in the music industry with the launch of his 15th album titled The Love Letter on September 6 at Steakhouse Pub and Grill in Harare.
Speaking to Standard Style, the South Africa-based musician said it was time for serious business as he takes his music career on a whole new pedestal with proper management systems that will help protect the brand and unlock value for his music career.
“It’s been an exciting 20 years in the music industry and I am glad the highs and lows of my career have helped me become a better and more complete artiste who is geared for the next level,” he said.
“I want to go international and I believe the success I have recorded in Zimbabwe and beyond bear testimony to my clarity of intent.
“Yes, I have faced some setbacks and negatives along the way but like the wise say, the finest gold must pass through the hottest fire.”
With big name collaborations with globally claimed artistes like Master KG and DJ Tira under his belt, Nox has all the ingredients of success at his disposal and he promises to take things notches higher with the new album.
“I strongly believe that winners never arrive and even though I have recorded previous success courtesy of my own productions and other big hit collaborations with showstoppers like Master KG and DJ Tira, I have even bigger things coming my fans’ way,” Nox said.
“On the new 20-track album, I have some amazing collaborations with big international acts including Iyanya from Nigeria, Eddie Kenzo from Uganda, Episode from Ghana and Gigi Lamaine from South Africa.
