I grew up in a family of two with a single mom, she raised both of us without the help of our father, she had a business and that's were i got my first motivation from.
I did my senior high school at Kitwe Boys High, i don't know how i used to pass my exams because i wasn't interested in school stuff until i reached my final year (G.12) - thats when i took a moment and had to think that, if i don't pass just this one exam, then i have wasted 12 years of my life and eventually i became a very serious kid, i started studying and managed to pass my exams.
I love to create stuff, create cartoons, to photograph, in-short i love art.
I started my blogging career in 2010 when and in 2011 a blog on called Zambian Music Blog to write about news in the Zambian entertainment and i somehow i was thinking i am not going to manage to push the blog this far because i was unemployed with no computer and no money for hosting. Just after a year of launching the blog, it was shut down due to high traffic, i needed to upgrade but i had no funds. A year after i started working as a waiter i re-branded the website back, this time on a new domain. It is now the biggest blog in Zambia. I quit my job as a waiter 2 years ago and i have concentrated on trying make my blog into a multi-million business through advertisement.
I will use the loan to buy a canon eos 5d mark ii costing $660.62, a tripod stand costing $170 and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens costing $125. I make video content for my website to keep the users informed on what's happening in the entertainment industry and me having a good camera will help produce high quality content that advertisers will be very much interested to place there product. So it will help me attract more users to the website and more value to my business.
