One of Zimbabwes most successful dancehall DJs DJ Flevah says that although his recent rapid surge to fame via dancehall does not define his limitation as a dancehall selector but the span of his diversity lies deeper within the history of his career. Dj Flevah (real name Tendai Tembo) is one of the front liners in the Dancehall mixtape super kings Judgement Yard, his selections are up to times with international dancehall tastes and trends but the sound boy has not always been a reggae mixer. I want to give a point of correction on the perception of me making a living off dancehall alone, I dont make a living off dancehall solely but am pursuing a career in music as a DJ. My passion for music has seen me make a mark as a DJ in playing any genre you can think of. Basically, lve performed well in playing music in general, my history as a DJ is longer than the current recognition of dancehall. I have a very deep foundation and understanding as far as making a living out of my passion for music is concerned, said Flevah. Coming from an 11 year long career that became rewarding in recent years thanks in a main to a massive distribution of Judgement Yard live performances, he has headlined top tier shows that most artists can only dream of, ranging from HIFA, the Victoria falls Carnival and stints in South African night clubs, all because of his ability to penetrate dancehall to virgin markets. Flevah emptied on some of the dynamics of being a successful dancehall sound and raising the benchmark in a field with multiple small time players both locally and internationally. The selector has the most challenging task of reading the audiences mood in determining what specific track to play at a specific time utilising a distinct of change-over from one song to the next one riddim to the next. The MC on the other hand should be an orator highly skilled in the art of persuading the audience about what to expect from the coming track, also the MC puts audience in best fit mood to enjoy tracks selected by the DJ. More-so, energy levels within a given crowd are solely the result of the musical chemistry between the MC and DJ. 4 More info Visit zifmstereo.co.zw
