About Me

I am a Zambian based musician and actor using my influence to influence local communities and being a motivational speaker to the youthful following that I have. I have been profiled by CNN program African Voices and have had the privilege of being a part of a USAID funded TV drama 'Love Games'. I was raised in a low income community within the capital city of Zambia, Lusaka by a single mother and while seeing members of my community waste away due to poverty, substance abuse and disease, music gave me purpose and I overcame my circumstances and I tell my story every chance I get. I understand that I have a voice in my community and by using my voice to speak to underprivileged children, I open up their minds to a world of possibility and seek to inspire them to dream beyond the reach of their eyes.

My Business

My business is in music production and performance, audio advertising, branded apparel and visual arts in the form of film. I was signed to a major record label but I felt like being dependent on it limited my personal growth so I took the bold step of restarting my career on my own. I have so far funded my own projects but I still have opportunities to grow further with a significant capital injection. My influence is fueled by my relevance and my relevance comes from having products for people's consumption in form of either audio or video form which propels the sell of both albums and branded merchandise. My typical costs are for studio, printing and video equipment which I typically outsource but would love to procure my own as time goes by.

Loan Proposal

I plan to use the loan stop settle studio fees for an already recorded song which will help in hyping up the shows which I have lined up for the Zambian summer which starts right around mid September with my fist gig being on October 6th. My studio fees are right September around $200. Once the song is collected, it shall be submitted for airplay on radio and will be an incentive for fans to attend my shows as I travel around the country. Each gig averages right around $500 depending on the number of people in attendance and the area in which I am playing. Examples in form of pictures/videos and songs can be found on my various online platforms including social media and music hosting sites such as iTunes by googling 'Dope G'.
