ZiFM Stereo’s MisRed describes herself simply as a single, working mother.
Like many young women MisRed has struggled with labels. The name “Misred” (pronounced Misread) is exactly what a lot of young women face every day – being misunderstood, misinterpreted. She believes that she represents every young woman who has made a mistake and has been written off by society.
Her passion lies in empowering young women by showing them the endless possibilities life can offer if you challenge yourself to constantly have a winning attitude.

Best concert you have ever been to?
I’ve been to quite a few concerts all over the world, with all the bright lights and razz mataz you can think of but I Forever maintain any Oliver Mtukudzi Show I go to is always a Blast. My favourite being when he performed At the Umoja Festival in Mozambique 2008 at Fortaleza. I remember feeling Home sick cause I had been staying there for a few years and just watching him on stage just gave me a little piece of home to get me by!

Where is Zimbabwean entertainment going?
Zim DanceHall has taken over everything and the artists representing some of the other genres have really taken a back seat and so variety is limited which I think can be dangerous, because growth of an industry is incumbent of synergies which are lacking but we are slowly but surely seeing the value of the Arts which is a good thing. Unfortunately like most things in Zimbabwe we have no sense of Urgency but there are people I see working tirelessly to try improve our Entertainment. I’m optimistic but we need to get out of our bubble and the comfort zone that has really been somewhat created by the media which can be very polarized as we have seen so at times we fail to really gauge on the flaws or successes
Where is your career going?
Answer: I wish I could tell you the Half of it but I am more action than words. And I Love to surprise people, but let’s just say Misred will consistently give folks something to talk about in terms of Breaking New Ground for Zimbabwe

I want to be remembered as The Girl who proved anything is Possible and Dreams Can Easily is turned into reality! Especially in Media!
