Chilu Lemba Biography

Chilu Lemba is one of the most popular and richest Singer-Songwriter who was born on August 27, 1975 in Lusaka, Lusaka, Zambia.

During his teenage years, Lemba developed a passion for writing music. A recipient of the Chengelo Secondary School Music Award in 1992, he has been involved in numerous musical projects since. Lemba is famed for writing and recording Afro Hip hop hits “Zambia Moto” and “Shibuka”, featuring Alan Mvula and Kora Award nominee – Joe Chibangu respectively as well as the song Njota featuring Hip hop artist Zubz and Zambian producer TK Siyandi. Lemba’s debut solo CD, Sound Legacy, which spurned a number of radio hits in his home country was released under Ten Twenty Seven Communications, a company he co- owns with his wife. Although Sound Legacy is Chilu’s debut album, he previously – as a member of The Man X Crew – released a cassette single titled “Keep Moving”. It was recorded at the Lemba family farm in Lusaka in 1994. Copies were printed and sold mostly to friends and relatives. In many interviews since, he credits his musical sound to encouragement he received from Beats International and particularly, Norman Cook (a.k.a. Fatboy Slim) during a Rap workshop that the group held on their African tour in the early nineties. They encouraged delegates to express African originality and be less American sounding. In 2011, Chilu began recording his second album. In a 3-page article feature on him that appeared in the August 2011 issue of the South African Airways inflight magazine Sawubona, Chilu stated that his second album was to be titled Flowers, Needles & Drumbeats. The album was released in June 2012. Promotional material included the video for the Njota Remix which was nominated for Best Foreign Video at the Born n Bred Music Awards 2014, losing out to Zone Fam’s Translate.
