There’s an exciting new face on the local R&B front. Meet Malachi, the Zimbabwean-born, Johannesburg-based crooner who is making a name for himself in a big way. The singer combines the emotional push of his sentimental lyrics with elements of pop and textural, versatile production for a unique and diverse sound for his debut solo EP ‘Wicked Romance’ dropping on the 3rd of July. Today, he drops his brand-new single ‘We Move’.
Tanaka “Malachi” Shereni, was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, and moved to South Africa when he was 11 years old. Malachi always took an interest in music and taught himself how to play the guitar and sing from an early age. The Zimbabwean native was writing songs and singing as early as the age of 12, but he honed his writing and singing skills for nearly 4 years while finding his sound and growing his production team before making his solo debut with ‘Wicked Romance’.
Malachi is influenced by a variety of artists such as Drake & Tory Lanez because of their tone and style of music called “The New Toronto” and the range of their vocal capabilities.
From as early as 2017, Malachi has always worked with a few producers namely, Elöhim & Elizée, and they headed the production on his first singles and EP. Malachi has always maintained growth and solidarity within his team, with a recent addition on his solo debut EP, Jordan, a producer who provided the finishing elements in establishing Malachi’s new sound, and the two just had organic chemistry.
