Harmonize discloses dream career from his childhood

21 June 2024

• The musician has already finished working on his 6th album which will feature artistes from many different countries.

Harmonize has revealed that since childhood, his dream was not to become a musician but to be a renowned soccer player who would bring success to his country on the global stage.

Speaking to Clouds Media, Harmonize said that his dream before entering the music industry was to be the first player to help Tanzania's national team qualify for the World Cup.

The director of Konde Music Worldwide said, however, that this dream did not come true. After succeeding in music, his goal shifted to making Tanzanian music known worldwide.

Harmonize disclosed that he already has a new album, although he did not mention the release date. He admitted that it would be challenging since he had previously assured his fans that he would stop releasing albums and focus on single tracks.

“Last year, my idea was to release a very different album because I’ve done various collaborations with American artists. Honestly, I can give you a hint about the album I want to release later…”

“I’ll reconsider because I said that 'Muziki wa Mama' [his recent album] would be my last album, but now there’s another album called ‘World Cup’ which is already completed. My dream was to take Tanzania to the World Cup, but it didn’t happen. Fortunately, I succeeded in music, and I made an album called ‘World Cup’ that features nearly an artist from every country, which is why I named it World Cup,” Harmonize explained.

Referring to the artists from nearly every country, Harmonize mentioned some of the nations whose artists are included in his album, which will be his sixth since leaving Wasafi and managing himself independently.

“There are artists from America, France, West Africa, South Africa, Jamaica… which is why I named it World Cup, and it was supposed to be released first, but I said as a patriotic young man, let me take some time to talk about my president.”

In his fifth album, ‘Muziki wa Mama,’ Harmonize released songs praising President Samia Suluhu Hassan. Some people referred to these songs as campaign songs ahead of Tanzania's next year's election, where Samia is expected to run for another term after being sworn in as president in 2021 following the death of former president John Pombe Magufuli.

At that time, Samia was the vice president.
