==Early life== | ==Early life== | ||
Roberto was born in a musical family. Growing up he got inspiration from his parents and his elder brother, [[General Ozzy]], a singer, songwriter and producer. | |||
He entered the music scene as a rapper, and later turned singer after being inspired by Usher’s hit song “My Way”; Roberto later encountered a career turning experience after traveling to and living in South Africa for a period of time. Whilst in South Africa Roberto wrote songs for and worked with well-known South African artists, such as Boom Shaka, Thebe and Buso. This propelled Roberto’s confidence and career to the next level and led him to joining forces with Explosive, whom at the time had regular features on Channel ‘O’ and gave him the opportunity to write and produce his first track titled “Chest to Chest” which paved the way for Roberto in the African Music scene. On his return to Zambia Roberto released his debut self-titled album in his native tongue, which produced hits such as Operator, Mtima Wako, Inkama Shandi and Ulimbe featuring Ozzy.<ref>[http://www.zambianmusic.net/artist?id=883&a=roberto Roberto on ZambianMusic.net]</ref> | |||
