Journey
Kudakwashe Mukuzunga, known to the world as Kd Summerz, stands out as a Zimbabwean-born trailblazer in music production and performance art. His core ethos combines his roots in traditional African music with diverse genres like Afrobeats, hip-hop, and jazz. His journey began at the Children's Performance Arts Workshop (CHIPAWO) where he mastered traditional instruments such as the mbira, marimba, and ngoma, eventually leading him to the national spotlight as a finalist on the Spotlite talent show in 2002. His musical ventures gained international momentum with 'The Future', a collective that earned prestigious recognition by winning the British Council’s Power in the Voice award, elevating their profile at the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA). Throughout his career, Kd Summerz has released critically noted projects including 'The Playlist Mixtape' (2011), 'Dreams in Limbo' (2013), and 'Summerz Eve' (2017), the latter meriting him a nomination at the Ultimate Music Awards. His innovative sound and compelling gospel releases have reached audiences in the US and UK. Now based in South Africa, Kd Summerz’s creative landscape is ever-expanding, punctuated by his album 'Afro Shandiis', which symbolizes his commitment to fusing global sounds and collaboration with artists worldwide.
