[A] _ _ [F#] _ My mom and my dad they're [Bm] musicians and we were [A] born in him in an environment where music was part of our lives and
[F#] I grew up I just picked up music as [A] something I had to do all the time _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [F#] _ After graduating [C#] from from university most parents [Am] want you to sit in an office and
[G] Maybe just work and do something that's related [Em] to that as for me coming from a musical family
It helped me to realize that I could also do music as good [Bm] as I could do everything [A] else _ _ _ _ _

Music has been received very well by Malawians
I released a [E] single DD which has [F#] stayed on top [C#m] of
Charts for months and months in a year and a half now still [E] playing so hard in Malawi
So I feel like Malawians have been so excited about the music that I've been making so far
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Malawian music has made so much progress from the time I started performing when I was young when I was young
I think there was so much a limitation because of media coverage right now [E] because social media is is big in Malawi because we have
Many TV [C] stations a lot of radio stations have opened [Am] so young [Em] people because because they have having all these good influences from outside
We have a way to get the music to the people and in such a way
Music has been developing so fast and so well that I think we're on the right track

Think the [Em] highlight of my performances [F#] was glass and Bray last year 2017
Don't like a big stage big [A] platform.
I crossed paths with a lot of big [Em] artists
Ed Sheeran was there Katy Perry was there
I felt like [B] Malawi had exported something big the people the connections I met out there have shaped them with most of the music
[E] I'm doing right now grew up thinking
One day things will get [B] better.
I ended up queuing for sugar
sleeping on a petrol [E] station
