User:Petmore M Ndlovu

Born at Pelandaba Clinic on the 3rd of November 1989 in Bulawayo - Zimbabwe, Petmore Ndlovu was given his grandfather's name 'Malila' as his second name, one which is used as the initial M. He grew up a brilliant and intelligent boy who, like any other family, faced challenges after his parents separated in 2004. That pushed him to discovering a way of expressing what was on his mind and in his heart by pen and paper, from melodies that grew from within. This was during the period he was in the primitive, rural areas of Masvingo. Later in 2011 he moved to the Midlands capital of Gweru after getting a job as a loans officer. There he recorded his first ever demo. With no studio experience or whatsoever, all he had was his talent, the songs and the money to record. From there, due to the passion for his just discovered talent, he kept propelling along and up the same channel. He used his amateur demo to audition for the Called to Worship Choir in 2012 and he was accepted. In 2013 he later moved on to audition for the True Worshippers Choir Zim where he was accepted too. There he did several projects including shows, and grew exceptionally in that field as a back up tenor and lead singer. While there,he was spotted by Shylin Maningi the then prominent Gweru-based solo gospel singer. She then through the TWC Zim music director, Nigel Nyangombe, contacted him in 2014 - and they worked together from there. By the end of the same year, he then moved to South Africa where he never gave up. Residing in Johannesburg, in2015 he travelled all the way to Pretoria and auditioned for the Tshwane Gospel Choir. 2017, he auditioned for Gospel Goes Classical and Spirit of Praise Vol. 7 consecutively. Even if he did not get the chance to join any of the choirs he auditioned for by that time, he kept exploring other avenues. Petmore saw himself casting as a background artist (extra) in some of the major shows on SABC, including commercial ads. As a multi-talented man, he believed could still use his drawing skills to launch his fashion designing career which he hoped would bloom to complement his music and television careers with outfits that he would put on.
