Vinchenzo Mbale: Not Just an Upcomer, an Established Artist Underrated

Renowned Zambian artist Vinchenzo Mbale has had enough of being labeled as an upcoming artist.

In a recent interview on Prime TV’s Yatu Vibes talk show, he expressed his frustration at being continuously categorized as a newcomer despite his established status in the music industry. This revelation has sparked a conversation about the criteria used in awards and the need for improvement in categorizing artists.

Vinchenzo, who has been in the industry for a significant period, firmly believes that he doesn’t belong to the upcomer category. He mentioned that his hit song “Ma Reasons” has been playing for a whole year, proving his progress and success as an artist.

Feeling underrated as an established artist, Vinchenzo took a bold step by withdrawing from an award that nominated him. This decision shed light on the flaws in the categorization system and raised questions about the criteria used in such awards.

The controversy surrounding Vinchenzo’s categorization has brought attention to the need for improvement in the industry. Artists deserve recognition based on their actual status, not just their time in the business. Hopefully, these discussions will lead to changes that promote fairness and accuracy in future awards.

With Vinchenzo taking action to elevate himself and other artists speaking out about similar issues, it is clear that change is on the horizon. Let us hope that Zambian music awards will improve in the coming years, creating a more inclusive and fair environment for all artists.

In the meantime, Vinchenzo continues to shine as an established artist, proving that true talent cannot be confined to any category. Keep making great music, Vinchenzo, and let your art speak for itself!
