Zamar has so far managed to take his musical gift to many countries including England, Scotland, the United States of America, Australia and many African countries.

His ability to speak and sing in many African languages that include Zulu, Venda, Sotho, Swahili, Ndebele, Shona and Tswana has endeared him with multitudes of gospel music lovers all over the world.

He rose to prominence in 2014 when he joined the multi-award-winning gospel ensemble Joyous Celebration as a vocalist.

Two years later, Zamar moved to South Africa after joining the Bold Music stable.
