Zidara is an afrocentric artist with a bias towards electronic music and pop, a singer/song-writer and sound designer influenced by a wide taste of music from all over the world which can be heard from his sound. His music speaks to an international audience whilst sung in English as well as his native Shona language and played in using random forms of physical objects, instruments and drum machines carefully treated to be human friendly.

Zidara's musical journey started after eavesdropping during a cousin's music lessons in the mid nineties when he also realised he could achieve a lot musically with a limited set of tools creatively.

His first album is 'Love_Joy_Pain' released in 2015, is a 14 track album centered on the album title and he is working on his second. He sings mostly about what he has felt at some point and is able to craft a song based on any topic. 

Zidara stems from a graphics design background and has worked on many sound tracks for multimedia. His studio is currently based at his house in Bluffhill, Harare and he is happy to work on music for film, TV and games as well as other multi media applications. Collaborative work is very welcome.

Zidara means 'a clarity in speech and poetry', a name he chose due to his straight forward lyrics which lack any form of Auto-tune, preferring his audience to feel they are listening to a real person who can relate to who they are. 

Born in Zimbabwe in April 1976 and based in Zimbabwe's capital city of Harare, he has worked in the HIV field in southern Africa and has lived and worked in South Africa. 

A lover of all forms of monkeys, he loves to observe their physical attributes in comparison to human beings for admiration, relaxation and stress relief.
