I am glad that this time I will be coming there a more mature musician who knows what my fans expect from me. The fact that I will be accompanied by my dad makes the show quite a unique and special one. I am ready for the show and I would like to urge my fans to come in numbers and enjoy some of our new singles which I did with Willom,” said the 22-year-old talented guitarist.
Gary did his ordinary and advanced studies at Churchill Boys’ High School and has so far performed at various shows alongside well-established artistes such as Jah Prayzah, Sulumani Chimbetu, Oliver Mtukudzi, Alexio Kawara and Leonard Zhakata.
