About
Joe Chibangu
Joe Chibangu grew up in
Ndola. Having been exposed to public performance by the age of 13 years,
he gained experience and performed in churches and schools. By the age
of 15 years, he had written my first song.
After finishing Grade
12 in 1994, Joe chose to go into the Music Industry full time. He went
to a musical school in Kitwe where he gained my keyboard (piano) skills
and also learnt to read and write music. He went on to perform with
groups such as Rap Prophets (1996) in Ndola, who were among the first
Rap groups to gain popularity.
"I then came to
Lusaka in 1997 and joined the B-Sharp band. While with the band, I
toured around Zambia and performed alongside artists such as Ackim
Simukonda, Maureen Lilanda, Maria Nkhoma and others. I had my first
engineering experience at Feedback Studio in 1998, and in 1999, I was
introduced to Mondo Music by my friend Mainza Chipenzi."
Over the past four
years, Joe Chibangu has been the creative force behind many of
Zambia’s leading musicians. He has produced, performed and
collaborated with Danny, Shatel, J.K., Daddy Zemus, Black Muntu, B-Sharp
Band, Tribal Cousin, & Tasila Mwale.
The Ambassador takes
centre stage! His debut album was released in September and is now one
of the most popular musical sets of the year.
