Paradzayi yesterday told NewsDay that he was ecstatic to have been nominated for such an award, which was testament to how hard he has worked over the years.
“I am overwhelmed by the nomination,” he said.
“Doors have already started opening and I have been getting calls from other artistes in the region who are interested in working with me, among them South African DJ Gunyana of the Xigubu fame and Ice Queen from Zambia, while on the local scene, the likes of Synik are willing to come on board something that shows that my future is bright.”
Paradzayi said his biggest success at present is the release of his first album as a commercial producer and being nominated for this award shows his potential.
In his category, Paradzayi will battle it out with other producers such as Yung Nash, Charly Zimbo, Krimz beatz and Tash Manhize.
Other nominees in various categories include Bulawayo rapper, Cal_Vin Stunner, Junior Brown, 8L, Burg Boyz, and Winner Circle Dolla Sign Music Yedu Entertainment.
