Amuli who boasts of a state of the art studio in Gweru has vowed to continue recording a number of upcoming artistes’ works.

“At the moment we are simply assisting a number of dancehall artistes to record their works in the best way we can.

“This is the only way I can give back to the community since most young artistes look up to me.

“While I’m busy assisting others, I won’t forget to do my own projects and the one which has been done is Hurongerana that we hope to launch next month if all go according to plan.

“We are still courting partners to assist is and launch it online as is the case right now,” he added.

However, it should be mentioned that it is his forth-coming album Hurongerana many of his fans have been waiting for.
