"I made my mark in Bulawayo and influenced the youth to become musicians as a career," says Dingi Cash.

Dingi Cash was born 7 February 1988 and has been writing songs since he was in grade 6 (11years old). It's been 14 years since then and the dream chase continues.



"I always did music as a hobby and part time thing until I turned 21. I asked myself if I could grow to be anything what would it be. That's when I realized that I wanted to be a musician and if I am going to be a musician I have to start doing it fulltime and the right way. So I started a duo called Zasemasemi with Kares, which grew to be a movement, Record Label and now a Clothing Label.

"My 1st album was called Gadalala in 2010 because it was hard back then. I never got to finish the album because of the hardships but it got airplay on radio stations. The album had 4 tracks. It was followed by a Gadalala Mix tape because the single had made an impact and I had to do something even if the album could not come through.

"My 2nd album was released in 2012 an titled Zenzanjani. It had a music video Sonke Featuring Joe Maseko.



'My current album titled G-Wabalanda is still work in progress. It has few singles out and a video Sestshuna below.



Dingi Cash says Bulawayo artists do not get much support from club and radio disk jockeys (DJs).

"The challenges I have came across as Bulawayo Artist is that we do not get much support from the club DJs and radio Djs.

"We are loved, followed by fans and I appreciate that to the fullest but we need the DJs to play our music more so our fans can hear it wherever they go. I think the DJs have to find out what people are listening to out there and play it as well. Whether its international or local. That is clearly the DJs job, I think."
