MASKANDI ARTIST S NEW STUDIO By Zama Nteyi
MASKANDI artist Phumlani “Imfezemnyama” Khumalo has officially opened his own studio.
The studio, which is named Amabunjwa Records and is in the Joburg CBD, was opened late last year, but operated partially.
Imfezemnyama said he has been buying instruments since last year.
“I cannot say the studio is fully equipped, but I have the most needed instruments. But I officially opened it this week. At this point, I can say the studio is fully operational,” he said.
“So far I’ve spent quite a bit on this studio, including the equipment. Fortunately, I’ve been investing money and that’s how I accumulated capital.”
Iâm so hurt, says Sing With Sundowns winner! By Zama Nteyi
MASKANDI artist Phumlani “Imfezemnyama” Khumalo has won the Sing With Sundowns competition.
The competition required artists to compose a song about Mamelodi Sundowns.
Imfezemnyama on Saturday, walked away with R200 000 for his song, Fifty Years Sibusa.
However, he wasn’t happy.
He told Daily Sun he aimed to win the first prize, which was R1 million, but his music colleagues let him down.
“I always campaign and vote for artists whenever they’re nominated in a competition,” he said.
But none of them supported me when it was my turn. I’m hurt and disappointed.”
