If you not a fan now is the perfect time to catch up………Meet
Masimba Sigauke also known as………......................
Name: Navy Seal
How
I Got The Name: Got
it from a white boy in my class, back in high school. We were fans of military
cartoons like G.I Joe, Transformers. The name had nothing to do with music, but
eventually stuck on to me in my class.
Hometown:
Bulawayo
When & Why I Became Interested In Music: At the age of 11, when the Eminem era began. I enjoyed his & DMX’s music very much. During that period I switched from D’gong/Kwaito to Hip Hop.
Proudest
Moment Of My Career: When I finally
completed & released my debut mixtape.
Collaboration: Regionally It would be L-Tido. I’m a big fan. I believe he’s the best hip hop entertainer in Africa. Locally it would be Mariachi, & M.C Chita. They’re my 2 favorite local hip hop emcees. I enjoy their style of hip hop….No Homo!
Top
Musicians: In their particular order-50 Cent,
Rick Ross, Meek Mill, L-Tido, Mariachi.
You play Any Instruments: No.
Famous Musicians Learned From: 50 Cent. I’ve adopted his style of rap, only this time I manage to provide a “local-international” touch to the raps, that way I’m able to keep my music as original as possible.
What
To Expect In 5 Years: More
music-mixtapes, E.Ps, albums, videos, shows nationwide, local & regional
hip hop nominations & awards, to mention the least.
Likes
& Dislikes: I like watching
& playing football. Dislike fake niggaz. They’re like watching a science
fiction movie.
Public
Performance: Not really.
I’ve performed a few times in public, in the past. It was exciting, but the
crowd was not responsive.
Do
You Get Nervous During Performances:
Only the few minutes before stepping on stage. Once I’m on it, I’m in my zone.
Advice
To New comers: Be patient,
persistent, and be yourself. Don’t try to imitate the next rapper or be
bothered by what he or she has, or achieved. Focus on your goal, & don’t
try to cut corners to get the job done fast.
Balancing
Music And Other Obligations: In
whatever situation, music comes first, but I live “family over everything”.
Largest
Fan: I think my largest fan would
be…..#sigh# not sure, but maybe a good friend of mine Mariann Mhlanga, in
Harare.
Furthest
Show From Home: Curtain raising
for Stunner in Gweru, in 2011.
Worst
Nightmare: When I almost failed to complete my
debut mixtape back in January. I took the rest of the work into my hands to fulfill
the project.
Music
Category: Street Rap.
Greatest
Achievement: Completing my
debut mixtape, “Across The Borders”. Took me several months of patience and
impatience.
Goals
Set For The Next 3 Years: More
music, videos, & shows.
Preparing Myself: I bring together the right team, determined & efficient people to work with. That way I stay on the right path.
Definition
Of Ideal Job: Entertain the
people by giving them the good music they want to listen to.
