Ras Pompy

Bio

Rasy Pompy was born Nyasha Reginald Mano in Mbare, Zimbabwe. He is so far the youngest musician in the country. He attended school at Morgan High School before getting a scholarship to study at Borrowdale Brook Academy. The scholarship is a community programme for disadvantaged but talented children. His father died in 2001 when he was just a toddler. His mother had challenges sending her children to school. This prompted Ras Pompy to find means of helping his mother.

He turned to music and at 13; his career was able to take care of the basic needs of his family. His career began at Chill Spot Records under the guidance of top Zimdancehall producers, Arnold Kamudyariwa and Rodger Kadzimwe.

His popular tracks include ‘Nzira Dzevakoma’, ‘Style and Pattern’, ‘Tochivharira’, ‘Change Giya’ and ‘Tobhilivha na Most High’. Pompy started off his career. At eight, he did his debut recording Mwari Baba. In 2014, he toured the UK as part of the Zvirikumbofamba Sei Tour with other musicians such as Jay C, Lady Bee, Dhadza D, Loud H Mbada and Lewaz Skattah. In that same year, he was nominated in the Best Zimdancehall Youngster category.
