Questionably notable and improvable biography as the best my extended searches found was only this (one of the searches at the listed news sources), this, this and this. It's worth noting this has actually existed since June 2006 with hardly much notability and improvement and I think that's because he only seems be somewhat locally known. Notifying past users, , , and lastly African user  who may have some insight. SwisterTwister  talk  07:57, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak keep, please accept my apology for the extremely slow response. The subject of the article appears to meet WP:NMUSIC per this source as winner of Ngoma Music Award, a notable music award in Zimbabwe. I think the award is synonymous to The Headies music award in Nigeria. He had also been nominated for Kora Awards. Pinging  for further analysis of the Ngoma Music Award.Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 17:09, 21 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep The subject of this article is notable. He has received good coverage in reliable Zambian newspapers such as The Lusaka Times, Zambian Watchdog and Times of Zambia, to name a few. Winning his country's biggest award (Ngoma Music Award) as well as Africa's biggest award (The Kora Awards) establishes notability.  V e r s a c e 1 6 0 8   (Talk) 12:39, 22 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Simply due to the fact of the award winning, otherwise doesn't seem very notable. Logicequalslogical (talk) 00:33, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
