Weapon of Peace signs first artist

By Stevie Muliya:

Weapon of Peace Studios led by Pon G, real name Eugene Suwedi, has signed up-and-coming artist Stanley Chimwala, better known as C-Ten Stamina.

Chimwala becomes the first artist to be signed by the stable.

Pon G said Wednesday that the management of Weapon of Peace decided to take the afro pop artist on board, having been impressed by his talent.

“He has potential to grow. He has skills and is unique,” Suwedi, well known for producing works of artists such as Rhodah J, Phyzix and Queen Sheba, said.

He observed that many artists in the country are struggling to break on the international stage due to inadequate funds.

“You need to invest more in your art if you are to go all the way and in the absence of resources, it becomes a challenge. So, we are here to help on that through promotion and marketing, which demand resources,” Suwedi said.

He said they want to lay the foundation by working with budding artists.

Chimwala said he is excited with the development.

“I hope to grow under their wings. I am thankful to them for this and I promise not to let them down,” the artist, who is set to drop ‘Ndizoona’ track under the label, said.
