<\/a><\/p>\nIts harder, still, for creatives whose crawl from obscurity to the limelight is filled with pitfalls.<\/p>\n
This is an inspiring story of a gifted artist whose passion for arts and music bit hard.<\/p>\n
Have you had a walk in the rain, with the furious wind pushing against your chest, heavy stinging rain drops on slapping your face? This is close.<\/p>\n
Artist Michael BunDi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Up close, Michael is laid-back, soft spoken. Kind of reminds you of your little brother. As suffers most creatives, he doesn’t talk much.<\/p>\n Like a duck waltz silently in a pond, yet furiously paddling beneath – creatives will be calm, inner battles suppressed.<\/p>\n This is a lad gifted with the rare artistic combo of a singer’s voice and instrument proficiency. He’s skilled in music production, and built his own studio.<\/p>\n Talking of battles, Michael has had quite a handful. While Michael was born into a family with a musical figure head (his father is a singer and music teacher), society wouldn’t bend backwards to understand his passion for music.<\/p>\n This meant a troubled childhood, changing schools often, et al. At some point Michael fell into depression, and toyed with suicidal thoughts.<\/p>\n Why does Michael spell his other name with an upper case letter smack in the middle, as in “….BunDi….”?<\/em><\/p>\n Luckily, with a touch of providence, Michael overcame this to fuel his passion in music. In a short time, he’s made a name in the region as a prolific Reggae artist.<\/p>\n He’s since released a string of hits, but what has made Michael straddle the reggae scene like a colossus are his iconic covers.<\/p>\n If you doesn’t live in a cave, you’ve certainly listened to his reggae cover for Baby Love,<\/em> originally done by Otile Brown. That garnered an astonishing 1.7m views!<\/p>\n The bummer with covers, though, is that original artists always monetize the covers, thus grabbing all YouTube revenue. Worse, they issue copy strikes – again, not a good thing in music.<\/p>\n Michael has decried this (in)justice and has since teamed up with progressive management to concentrate fully on own compositions.<\/p>\n Since, Michael has featured Zzero Sufuri to release Wisdom<\/em>, a catchy reggae jam.<\/p>\n In a bid to bid riddance (excuse the pun) to a difficult past, Michael is back with a poetic, emotion-provoking release – FAVOUR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Michael says Favour<\/strong> is ‘…like a prayer to me…’,<\/em> and it is. Its deep, reflective and tags at the strings of your heart.<\/p>\n They say a man comes out stronger at the other end of the tunnel, and Favour defines Michael’s burst into the sunshine.<\/p>\n There’s loads to sample from Michael Bundi’s versatile list – he boasts of over 500 releases!
