Hard Time Productions administrator Salom Majoro praised Tachi and described him as an emerging force in house music.
“DJ Tachi is one of the talented artists producing good Zimbabwean House Music,” said Majoro.
“His music is commercial; the fusion of deep house and some jazz elements left us without option, but to sign him.
“He needs a bit of polishing once he gets connected internationally; he will undoubtedly raise eyebrows in this industry.
“We then came to an agreement to take him on board on a five-year contract where we will offer him management services that include representing him and acting as his adviser in all business negotiations and matters relating to his entertainment career.”
Speaking to NewsDay Tachi said it is the beginning of great things to come.
