Many refer to him as the king of Namibian music and one of the most hardworking musicians in the industry. This year Gazza blasted boundaries, literally, making collaborating history by working with Jamaican musician Nyanda, establishing himself as a lounge owner and gracing almost every entertainment stage in the country.
With his willpower and hard work, a win at the MAMAs and BET awards are not a too far-fetched for this hit-maker.
2015’s ‘it’ girl?
Monica Geingos. She did remarkably well in taking to her position of First Lady and her achievements outside of being First Lady which have inspired many young women.
2015’s ‘it’ boy?
Akon for providing thousands of homes with electricity. The story really did not get the attention it deserves.
What is the last meal you cooked?
A potjie for charity on 25 December last year at Koko Lounge.
What 2015 song describes
your year?
Sam’s Smith ‘Lay Me Down’. In fact, the entire album is the first thing that came to mind when you asked that question.
Biggest bandwagon cause?
All these pray-for causes, while we’re not praying for all the problems and issues faced in the world.
Biggest blunder of 2015?
When I posted a picture of myself on social media taking a nap and people took it the wrong way and started writing that I was passed out at a service station.
2015’s biggest fool?
People whose work is limited to time. Champions know no time.
Hero of the year?
President Hage Geingob. His work ethic as a president. Also the homeless people who go winters without a home and still smile. Orphans who have no parents but still smile, laugh and are happy. It shows that no matter what you are going through you should be thankful.
2015’s best chill spot?
Koko Lounge, there is no question about it.
The last three things you spent money on?
Accommodation, petrol and food.
Last thing that made you laugh out loud?
Kitto, the guy is just a blunder sometimes.
Favourite slang term of 2015?
What put Namibia on the map in 2015?
Our national rugby team, the Welwitschias. Although we did not win any games, we played hard. Also GMP for collaborating with Nyanda, for signing with Universal Records. Namibian Breweries for bringing Boyz II Men to Namibia and Drogba’s deal with the breweries.
