IN the music circles, when you talk of Choma, the first name that usually pops up is that of Mphande.
Yes, Mphande, the Chelele Chelele singer who has made a name for himself by singing exclusively in his native language – ciTonga.
But, actually, there are more artistes and 23-year-old John Kapulula otherwise known as C2 for Real is one of them.
Already having worked with big names such as Kantu and Drifta Trek, C2 who sings in fluent Swahili has since released a new single which features Roberto titled Kuwama Kwako.
The song which was produced by KingTec was released on Christmas Day.
“I just decided to give my fans something new and fresh for the festive season. You know I love music and being in the studio recording songs for them to remain entertained and that is why I decided to give them something to close the year with,” he said.
His other recently released song which has a music video too Mapendo has also been received well and is enjoying massive airplay.
C2 who sings mostly in Bemba, Nyanja and Swahili came on the music scene in 2017 when he released and performed Chekecha at Choma’s Club Leelove, much to the delight of patrons.
The budding artiste who has since then gone on to work with the likes of Jae Cash on a song called Tapala Umuntu Umo told the Weekend Mail in an interview that his fans should expect more songs from him.
“To be honest, I am not surprised that the two songs have been received well by fans. I am very grateful to them for the support and that is why I always make sure to deliver to my best abilities so that I can go places with my music too,” he said.
C2 also also featured on DJ Cosmo’s King album on song number 15 titled Sukuma which was produced by Shinko Beats.
He also went on to share the stage with the famed dancehall artiste on his albums launch party in Lusaka in mid December.
“On that score, I can say I have had a very fruitful 2020 and I am looking forward to 2021 and I have a feeling it will be a really good year,” he said.
Born on December 25, in 1997, to a Tanzanian father John Kapulula, and a Zambian mother Beatrice Musawa Lwembe, in Nchelenge, C2 is a budding Afro pop and R n’B singer who has recorded songs with acclaimed music producers such as KB, Ricore, Shinko Beats and also Tivo Shikapwasha among others.
Already having shared the stage with a horde of top Zambian artistes, such as Chef 187, Drimz, Drifta Trek, Mampi, Judy, DJ Cosmo and also Kay Figo of the Kanyelele fame, C2 For Real is determined to excel even higher.
Other songs he has done include Brakata featuring Drifta Trek, Mapenzi Yakweli, My Miracle, Erika, Usanisiye featuring Lelwa, Stephanie featuring General Ozzy and King Illest, and also Ndakuyanda featuring Neo.
Know the guy personally. His music needs to be heard around the world.
ReplyDeleteVery true. Very humble young man too. I have seen him develop and grow in his music career. I pray and hope that he does not stray away. Talented lad with a very bright future, I must say.
