Freeman revels in Nama nominations

Zim Now Writer

Zimdancehall musician Freeman, real name Sylvesta Chizanga, is revelling in being the most featured musician on the 21st edition of the National Arts Merits Awards.

The chanter was nominated in three categories; outstanding male artist, outstanding album 13th track David and Goliath as well as outstanding song for his track titled Zimbabwean Queen, which features Jamaican Chris Martin.

This year’s Nama event is scheduled for the Harare International Conference Centre on February 25.

“I am happy. It is just a good feeling as an artist. The nomination means a lot because I am not the only artist who did big projects last year.

“This recognition keeps me going, gives me strength and big reasons to keep doing music. This is my third time being nominated for the awards.”

Freeman thanked his fans for supporting him all the way and said he credited those people behind the NAMA awards for recognising him among several other artists.

He added that the nomination on its own was a big honour for him.

“I cannot say I see myself winning. Even if I don’t win, I am still going to be happy because it is just a step up, a level up for me,” he said.
