About Me
i was born on 27/07/1996 in the city of ndola,known to be the firstborn of my parents who got separated when i was 4 years old and was left with mum when dad went to lusaka and start living there.
for mum it was hard for to keep me beacuse of her finacial staters,so she had to take me to my uncle dad's older brother who is the bishop of Rainbow ministry.
by then uncle only had two children louisa who was 4years old and dorcas who was just a baby by that time ... uncle and anunt kept me like their own son cause nowerdays it si every hard to keep someones child nor even your brother's but they kept me like their onw.
i started my primary school at the age of six and during my learning when i was in the 3nd grade mum came to ask uncle's permission for me to go and spend my holydays with her but unfortunetrly uncle couldn't accept...so all that time i was living with uncle and when i entered secondary dad cameback from lusaka and take me to be living with him...so from that time have been living with dad and my stepmum,but by now am living with 3 friends[elvis,archie and anthony].
myself and my friendwe started working to a company of the TRADE KINGS limited as casual workers and were payed 30zmw per day from monday to friday,so i had to organise some money and start myself a business of selling CDs such as movies,cartoon and video songs and the business is good atleast am able to contribute with my friends in paying rentals,buying food and other staffs.
what i love about zambia is that it is a peaceful country and a christian nation where you can't find war.
what i kindly do to pass my time is writing and composing songs and sings as well with some friends of mine...i love sings alot.
