Sha Sha, whose real name is Charmaine Mapimbiro, began her career in Zimbabwe as a young vocalist working with a Blind faith group in 2015 – an artist development program based in Harare. She started performing at music festivals in Zimbabwe after being encouraged by her friends. After pursuing music professionally and having her singles hit the airwaves in Zimbabwe, she partnered with Anashe Media Group and began working with a couple of producers in South Africa. She started doing gigs and soon started growing a fanbase, but things changed when a cab driver she befriended introduced her to DJ Maphorisa.
Following her introduction to DJ Maphorisa, Sha Sha was featured on songs like “Nge Thanda Wena” by Mlindo The Vocalist, “Akulaleki” by Samthing Soweto, “We Mama” by the Scorpion Kings (DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small) and “Love You Tonight” by MFR Souls, which have helped cement her name in the music industry. The young beauty from Mutare has become an in-demand vocalist in Amapiano and it’s no surprise why. Her latest offering, “Blossom”, contains Amapiano tracks such as a remix of Moloko’s iconic song, “Sing It Back” and club hit “Tender Love” that have dominated dance floors across the country. In 2020 Sha Sha bagged her first prestigious award from BET for the Best International Act. Her latest singles ‘“Woza” and “Light Up” extend her smooth vocal abilities and range as a musician.
She is truly an African gem and will continue to make waves around the world.
