We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Chitwara Moise a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Chitwara, appreciate you joining us today. Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?
music is my calling and passion. I feel there is a lot of impact I could positively cause in my world through my art. I’m definitely happy as an artist.
I know what its like to have a day job, captivity and less time for yourself most probably doing things you dont care about just for a pay cheque.
Chitwara, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’m Moise Chitwara, professionally known as Moise. I’m an artist mainly focused on Electronic Dance Music, Afro and pop, I’m one of the very few producers of EDM in my country and East African community. I have worked with producers around Europe and America and independent record labels too. a couple of my tracks have gone beyond a million streams on spotify and I have more than 300,000 people listening to my music every month on the platform. also featured on some of the biggest playlists like Tropical House with more than 2,000,000 followers
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist for me is the ability to express myself, being able to tell my stories in a very open perspective whereby anybody who ever went through the same experience could own the feeling and be able to relate. the other thing is time and freedom. I get to do things at my own pace and without pressure or stress because I enjoy what I’m doing genuinely.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My main goal as an artist is to touch people’s lives through my music. every time somebody reaches out to me appreciating how my work made them feel, thats more than a grammy to me. I feel like I’m accomplishing my purpose
