Entertainer Nyashinski is setting standards with his upcoming concerts dubbed Shin City on April 16.

Nyashinski in an interview with Mpasho revealed that he will not have any curtain-raisers in his show.

"Curtainraisers is a very interesting word," Nyashinski said, "That is another thing that we have to change. That is why I want people to think of Shin City as its own entity."

Adding, "When you are going to watch Fast and the Furious you are not expecting to see a curtain-raiser movie before the movie. Shin City is one show but it is a good show, an amazing show. There will be no lineup of noise, noise noise."

Nyashinski explained, "If I have curtain-raisers and they have not put in the 60 days of rehearsal then I'm doing a disservice to them. I feel like something like this is a chance to break the ceiling and change the mindset of how to conduct business."

Speaking during a pre-concert held this week, Nyashinski said that he has always done things in his own way, with the interests of his fans at heart. 

"The one way I have always wanted to do that is to lead by example I remember the first year when I came back from the states. I was not doing clubs, and it seemed strange and I was not doing interviews and that seemed strange then I was like I'm not going to curtain raise and then that seemed strange but all these are barriers we are breaking," Nyashinski said.

In a rare show of emotion. Nyashinski said, "It is a dream coming true. it means a lot to me. It is the biggest project I have ever done in my life. I have given it everything. I have called all my friends it is all I talk about until even people are tired.

Even when you are watching it when you come with your friends. Just know actually it is a dream come true for me it is a big deal."
