BY KUDZAI CHITSATSO ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD musician Letheng Chikozho says he has what it takes to rise to the top on the music scene in addition to performing well at school.
His father Takesure Chikozho believes his son with the support he deserves can excel both on the academic and music side.
Chikozho snr said he is helping Letheng balance school work and music career.
“Letheng is doing well with his school work as he always comes out with flying colours since he was in Grade 1,” he said.
“He started singing when he was in Grade 3 and his first song is titled Mweya Wangu, which was recorded at Not Nice Productions, a record label in Kuwadzana Extension.”
Chikozho said since then his son went on to record a number of songs with different recording labels.
“His second song after Mweya Wangu is called Sarudzo, which was recorded at Mamuka Productions and another one which was recorded by Chill for Real Productions which is titled Mukuru Wangu,” he said.
“His latest song is titled Rona which teaches people to be humble and was recorded by Blossill Machingura at Stizy Beats. He is the producer who contributed much to Letheng’s success.”

The Grade 5 pupil at Herbert Chitepo Primary School in Whitecliff is said to be working on a new project.
“We are currently working on Extended Play which would be released in August,” Chikozho Snr said.
He forbids his son from singing dancehall music.
“I don’t want Letheng to sing dancehall music because it leads him to disobedience and violence,” he said.
“So, most of his music is gospel and it teaches people to live in peace to all ages.
“If you listen to his song titled Mweya Wekumarinda which is being played on radio stations these days, it talks about how people are fighting against other people’s success using black magic. It teaches people not to practice such habits.”
