ZIMBABWE must move past the old belief that music is a fallback for the uneducated, says Tafadzwa Chipfuwamiti — better known as Teefah B.
The young Afro-Dancehall artist, who is also a Biochemistry student at the University of Zimbabwe, is defying stereotypes and breaking into an industry often seen as a haven for bohemians and radicals.
“I love telling stories and sharing constructive views that can inspire young people to be positive agents of change,” Teefah B said.
He admits facing resistance from some music lovers who question his place in the industry because of his science background. But he shrugs off the criticism.
“As a people coming from a colonial mindset, it’s common to attack each other and focus on the negative — a habit ingrained in us through the frameworks we were taught,” he said. “I love both music and biology, and I’ve found a balance that allows me to co-exist in both worlds.”
Teefah B says biology gives him intellectual stimulation, while music allows him to experiment creatively and share complex messages in relatable ways.
“My passion is to use every artistic expression available to reflect on emotional connections and foster relationships,” he added.
Since starting his music journey, Teefah B has released tracks including Chiyedza (2023), Mudiwa (2024) and Ndikuratidze (2025).
