Slickartie

Slickartie, born in 1989 as Artwell Neusu, is a
self-taught Zimbabwean singer, songwriter and
percussionist. Music has germinated in his soul since the
days of childhood sing-alongs with his grandmother,
percussion band performances in primary school and
forays into acapella during high school. His music

around him, and has seen him fuse various genres with
afro-soul harmonies to produce an eccentric, sensational
vibe he calls “Good Music”. A performer through and
through, the young artist is also a thespian of note in
the local theatre scene. He is a vibrant, collaborative
performer who was a lead vocalist of Savannah Afros
and the Afrolove bands. He has worked as a backing
vocalist for the likes of Evans Mapfumo, Pah Chihera
and Blavance in his home country of Zimbabwe, and
