FOR most mid-twenties young men, a place of passion is a dreadful trading place only the few daring and bold are willing to probe into. But this has never been the case for the incredibly talented tiger-eye focused Gweru-bred Josiah Mudziti aka Siah Hot.
Despite his age, no nonentity has kept the young crooner from aiming for the stars and achieving his set goals both as a Jazz musician and fashionista.
“It feels good being young as I am and achieving my goals at my age. Not many young people can do what I have vowed to do and I’m proud of myself.
It makes me feel confident that the future is bright for me and every other young person like me,” Siah Hot said.
Siah Hot has been in the music industry since 2014.
“I discovered my passion for music after finishing my high school as I fell in love with the process of creating music and the same goes for the clothing line which I have always loved and found it within me,” he said.
“I am specific about what I wear, so in my final year at college I used to design my own clothes and get a tailor to make the clothes. People would notice and start bidding for the clothes and I would end up selling most of the stuff and I later on decided to start Siah Signature Collection which has been doing so well,” he added.
The Gweru-based crooner said he has always found it easy for the two to complement each other given the fact that he has been in the music industry for a long time.
“Since music came first I already had followers, so I just used the status to promote my clothing line. Nowadays when I go for big events I will be dressed in my clothing line and that way I have managed to promote the line and these two have promoted the brand Siah which is me,” he said.
Siah Hot revealed that he has managed to supply his clothing line for many prominent artistes such as Gupsy Warrior, Nutty O, DJ Tamuka and Solid Records team, among others.
