Tytan: I was inspired by Jusa Dementor who happens to be my music producer as well.
Byo24: Do you face any challenges in your career and what are they if any?
T: Yes I do. The only challenge here is limited funding for my musical projects as I am not signed to any established record label.

Byo24:Byo24: What are your expectations for the future in the music industry?
T: I expect my brand to grow very much in value and look forward to representing Zimbabwe and Africa at large around the world.
Byo24: Do the fans accept your music?
T: Yes they do very much. They are pretty excited by it and I am humbled by such support.
Byo24: How do you come up with the music you are doing? Some say they dream some say they look at what is happening around them.
T: Well, most of my music is directly linked with my personal experience in life, the rest is inspired by what I see around me. The only thing I can dream of is a melody but I would assume I am probably half asleep LOL
Byo24: Which artists have you collaborated with, local and abroad?
T: I have collaborated with Cynthia Mare, Ammara Brown, Donald Kanyuchi and Clive "Mono" Mukundu locally and abroad I have only collaborated with Jusa Dementor who is based in the UK.
Byo24: Do you have albums?
T: I do not have an album yet but it's due for release in July this year. The album will be called Mukoko.
Byo24: How about any new releases?
T: My latest release is called Mukoko. It's a flirtatious song about a man who is trying to win the heart of a girl but in the process, the girl states her value as a woman and en-likens it and her to a honey comb full of precious and sweet honey.
Byo24: Whom are you doing this with?
T: I featured a fantastic female vocalist called Ammara Brown.
Byo24: Tell us about Mukoko, who wrote the song, who directed the video and what does 'Mukoko' mean?
T: I wrote the song and approached Ammara Brown to be part of it where she added on her lines to the song. The video was directed by Walter Chawota from Mr. Elders Films which is a subsidiary of Mr. Elders Creations. Mukoko is a honey comb.
Byo24: I notice the video reached 100k views within a week, how do you feel about that?
T: That's fantastic!! I am thrilled by it. We have set a record in the history of Zimbabwean music. I don't know of any video that has ever received such response in Zimbabwe for as long as I have lived.
