Everyone wants to be popular, I and you, but what is to be popular? The 2014 "Akazi amapha" hit maker Emmanuel Alfred Kamwendo popularly known as Mafo has described popularity as Ngozi (tragic).
According to the singer despite that people in music industry are striving for popularity but his idea remains a fact.
Mafo who is in his 30s joined music industry some years back with his song "Akazi ndi Mowa umakonda chaa". The song in 2013 was played in almost every sound box and Malawians shaken their bodies in expressing their emotion towards the hit.
There is no one kick hit in the world, every move reduced hours, and miles to success. According to Mafo patient and focus drove him to his success.
I will always say we better wait to be popular rather than forcing matters. Some music are popular but their singers remain unknown to public, he said.
Mafo with mic voice added that journey to popularity is challenging but he made it.
Today, his intro, madala mafo has merged in lots of songs and promising for more songs. His distinguished voice and code of music has honored his career to the extent that public ascribed him honorable and has been called for multinational shows.
In my music journey, among others, I have managed to hold international shows with international artists like organized family in Cape Town, Mafo said.
Without a second bow to mind, the musician thought teaching might purvey a better future. He then trained as a teacher to have upper potentials in account at same time trying to draw more bars in music.
Mafos bars moved to null and one could wonder of his existence in the industry. After scrutinizing, he realized that there is need to focus on one issue and promised to take his music career to space.
However, Mafo was quick to point out that lack of concentration has been a factor affecting his career in music. He has also pleaded to the upcoming artists to focus on their daily abilities for them to sail through the industry.
