Life has been unfair to many. At least some think that way while the others think that every misery brings an opportunity to break the stereotypical phenomenon of setting boundaries. It brings a sense of doing more than just sitting back and thinking about the turns that fortune brings inexplicitly. Life requires more than just kicking off the obstacles. It calls for courage, hard work, Strength, practice, and conformity. There is room for everything, and things do require patience and practice. If you want to be good at something, then doing less is not enough. It is better to do more and stay consistent with the plan of action. Similar is the story of Congolese singer Wendo Musaly. He is a singer cum songwriter cum actor with some incredible dance moves. He is popular among many for his power to sing amazingly well in multiple languages and genres. He has sung in English, French, and Swahili.
Wendo Musaly was born on November 21, 1996, with the birth name Wendo Mbilizi. He was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo when the area got afflicted by war. His parents were disturbed by the ongoing events and especially for the future of their kids. They decided to move out of the war flung area and took him to Tanzania with his elder sister. It was an emotionally and financially tough phase for them. He spent his early childhood in a Refugee Camp in Kigoma with his family and many other refugees. They had a hard time settling down in the new place. But it was the turning point for Wendo’s career as it was the place that gave birth to the talented multilingual singer. Gradually, they became adapted to the surroundings. He started going to school and made new friends, and he discovered his talent for singing.
The Strength lies in Adapting to the Change
Wendo was 11 years old when he started practicing music with his friends using drums, guitars, and piano. His friends have played a huge part in his career constructively and destructively. His friend’s elder brother suggested that you have the potential to be a singer who can inspire many. While he also had to face troubles due to racial discrimination and catcalling from his friends. It caused him to get terminated from school as well. However, he found an inspiration in this discouraging moment and decided to reveal his true worth to the world. Musaly believed that no discrimination could keep him away from shining out. He kept his focus on practicing for the real Strength avoiding all the discouraging factors.
Wendo had to move to Vermont, the United States, in July 2016. The career path he was following before had now taken a halt as a new place, new environment, and a hard time adjusting with the acquaintances. It took Musaly a good two years to establish contacts in the music industry to help him release the song he had written in 2016. Pourquoi was released in 2018, marking the outstanding beginning of Wendo’s music career. Again, it was with the help of a friend Mr. Oli who introduced him to the music producers.
Although Wendo had it all, he had lost faith in people. His friends shattered his confidence, and he had a hard time trusting people. He finally got the most deserving break for his career. It was the time when he got the confidence in himself to do more and better. He is currently looking up to set up an Online Music Production course in Los Angels, which can be a platform for many struggling artists to develop their professional relations while working with the community of musicians and songwriters. He found a hard time socializing and networking to bring up a platform to help others.
Musaly released Tranquility 1 when he was in high school in Vermont, US, on January 30, 2020. It comprised of songs, namely Pourquoi? (feat. Mr. Oli), Give Me That Eh (feat. Mr. Oli & Da QBoi), Tú’úndané (feat. Lumière Mbilizi), Kiboko WE, Je T’aime which were based on Hip-Hop or Afro-pop genre. After nine months, he sent out “The Best of Wendo Musaly” on October 9, 2020, for his fans. Receiving a huge public appreciation and a shout-out for more, he released “Tranquility II” on October 14, 2020. Wendo holds it closer to his heart as these songs included his feelings as evident, but the song titles such as Got My Heart on You, Love the Way You Do Me (feat. Mr. Oli), It’s Alright 2b My No.1, Je Refuse (feat. Swaga Milionea), and Happy Birthday 2u.
Wendo has a record label called “WMM Record”. Wendo aims to help others in establishing their careers at a young age. He believes that many people are born with a gifted talent, but lack of opportunities and practice has caused them to deviate from their goals. He wants to bring awareness and support to inspire young musicians who have got the vocals to turn their passion into a profession.
