Diva Extrodinaire

MZAMIE: fashionista with musical talent

Mzamo Gcabashe, known to me as the larger than life, ‘Diva Extraordinaire’ is always on his hustle to be nothing less than the best. Mzamo grew up listening to Maria Carey and finding inspiration from her lyrics and in turn found "inner strength". Being able to sing is just not enough; Mzamo believes that an artist’s job is to provide the audience with an escape. As you think about some of the influential musicians in your life you see that indeed Mzamo may be on to something... the art of performance is about being larger than life and letting people draw from your motivation and experience.

 Mzamo describes how being openly gay has been his greatest teacher to acceptance; acceptance of self and others as reactions vary from person to person, he calls it "being one with society". He is defiantly not a tortured soul, instead he explains that even at a young age his siblings and family understood and accepted him. Whenever tough times arose, Mzamo had his artistic and musical talent to immerse himself in.

Mzamo is only attracted to 'The Fearless'. Even his musical influences are of the strongest and most influential across the world: Christina Aguilera, Beyonce and Madonna are but some. He gravitates to musicians that create an exterior world from the one in which we live.

You can call Mzamo visionary. He writes music, dreams up his costumes, make-up and choreography. He is defiantly focused in taking Mzansi by storm!
