Renowned politician cum businessman, Engineer Vitumbiko Mumba has signed up and coming musician Amidu Ellani Monjeza popular for his hit song “Udikirebe”.
The musician made the announcement through his Facebook page on Wednesday evening saying Mumba has already sponsored his first album which is expected to be released soon.
“There are people that are selfless and just want to help others realize their dreams. The big assignment he has left me with today after our chat on the way forward with my music is: Define yourself and your music. Will it be inspirational music to those that are struggling in life or will it be about something else?” Reads the statement in part.
The singer has since advised people to contact his friend Malumbo Ngwira for bookings and anything to do with his music.
The youthful musician was recently seen working closely with renowned musician “Lawi” and renowned entrepreneur Rodwell Lumbe raising speculations that the two were about to sign the artist who is currently doing his studies at the University of Malawi.
The news of engineer Mumba signing the artist came as a surprise to many but Lawi has clarified that he had no contract with Ellani and that he wishes him well in his music journey.
“This is a professional decision and a wonderful development, we are very happy for Amidu. The support he has received is what we would like to witness more for up and coming artists and the arts in Malawi. From Malume at Lawi Group and Rodwell from The Citizen, we wish Amidu and his new management all the best in future endeavors,” reads Lawi’s Facebook post.
Amidu Ellani Monjeza became popular in November last year after renowned singer, Driemo, shared a video clip on Facebook in which he was captured singing along with his friend Malumbo who was playing a guitar.
