Music is one of Tapfuma's passions and through BabyRas Entertainment, which he co-owns with his cousin, Sebastian Soma, he says he has proved himself to industry veterans.

One of his goals is to break any negative perceptions about Africa's entertainment industry.

During his time in business, Tapfuma has forged good relations with some of the giants in South Africa's music video production industry, including Justin Campos, the founder of 'Gorilla Films.'
and Mike Ogoke the founder of Godfather Productions.

The 29-year-old has been writing songs since he was 14 and his music is a mix of hip hop and dance-hall and one of the rap songs he wrote and recorded features in Leon Schuster's box office hit movie 'Mama Jack.'

Tapfuma is due to release his third mix-tape and a video for his song 'Zimbabwe' is already out.

On what inspired him to choose his music genre, Tapfuma says: "My parents separated when I was very young. This meant that I grew up in two places as I lived with Dad but visited Mum on holidays.

"Mum's family had a very strong rasta/dancehall influences and my dad's had very strong hip hop influences so both grew on me.

"As a result, my music is a pure equilibrium of both."
