Zemus was born in 1968. His self-consciousness started at [[Kabulonga Secondary School]] in [[Lusaka]] together with the likes of [[Augustine Lungu]] and [[Maiko Zulu]]. It was further enhanced through the gathering of the Rasta community at the [[University of Zambia]] grounds where they used to meet every Saturday.<ref name=zadama>[https://www.daily-mail.co.zm/?p=19933 What was Daddy Zemus’ legacy?], [[Zambia Daily Mail]], 12 February 2015</ref> | |||
==Music career== | |||
He joined a group called "Zion Dub Squad" with his friend [[Papa Zai]]. The name Zion Dub Squad was coined by [[Brian Shakarongo]], who with Papa Zai and Ras Tammuz, were probably the three most influential people in shaping Zemus’ way of thinking as a musician and a philosopher.<ref name=zadama/> | He joined a group called "Zion Dub Squad" with his friend [[Papa Zai]].

Zemus’ main musical influences during his transition were Shabba Ranks and [[Paul Ngozi]]. Ngozi also localised his version of rock music fused with local blends. Shabba Ranks represented cross-over success and the ragamuffin style that he adopted as his style of expression. He was motivated by the will to succeed, so he started evolving as a musician and as a thinker to explore various sounds, diverging from his earlier Rasta roots reggae foundation. Zemus created his own style and brought in the other guys to flavour it with particular cross-over elements.<ref name=zadama/> | Zemus’ main musical influences during his transition were Shabba Ranks and [[Paul Ngozi]].
