Andy Brown’s son to perform at Zim Achievers Awards

Alex Brown has been secured as a performer at this year’s Zim Achievers Awards to be held this Saturday 6 May in London.

Events Coordinator Nothando Ndebele:

For the past seven years guests to our previous events have had the opportunity to witness first-hand, upcoming gifted artists, and we want to keep that trend going

The son of the late Andy Brown will be joined by TariMari, cousin to the late Chiwoniso Maraire.

Also performing will be Dalia Majongwe, performing artist Bea Muzenda, bass-baritonist, Simon Shibambu and soulful jazz sensation Nandi.

Alex Brown has been on the music scene for a few years and is currently working on his own music. Based in the United States, the star attributes his style of music to his father who he says taught him how to play Afro pop music.

I used to play a lot of rock music, but before my father passed on, he afforded me the wonderful gift of fusing afro pop with all the urban elements I had already acquired and I will forever be grateful to him for that

The awards campaign kicked off in January, and over 80 nominees across a reshuffled 18 category list were announced at a press conference in March. Voting closed on the 23rd of April and the panel are currently whittling down the shortlist to emerge with the 2017 winners.
