Matamando has over the last 20 years worked with different artists both in the UK and Malawi, singing background for Malawi’s most prominent gospel singers and shared the stage with other  great artists  such as Israel Houghton.

“Music has always been a huge part of my life, I was always surrounded by singers, we spent every night with my parents, my siblings and cousins singing praise songs,” she told Nyasa Times responding to a questionnaire.

“My uncles Nasawu and Wellington Mkukupha who are also Malawian music legends were always at our house. Whenever my dad had a show I would be the one who would put his music together. My sister Rudo Chakwera  and I have sang on many platforms as young girls, I have done background for most of Malawi’s top gospel and circular artists including Chrissie Kamthunzi, Ethel Kamwendo, Mr Zuze, Jane Msosa, Mr Chechamba, Patrick Simakweli, just to mention a few,” she added..

In  summer, Matamando released her debut single‘‘I belong to you’ which is also included in the ‘It’s Time’ album produced by the talented Andrew  Mutambira.

She told Nyasa Times that the album symbolises the right time for her to record, to put my music out and allow God to reveal her to the world.

“It never felt right to do it before my time. When God said it’s Time, I obeyed and everything was already provided for,” said the singer.

Matamando said her  music reflects “happiness, hope and total trust in God.”

She told Nyasa Times: “I allow my happiness, faith and testimony of what God has been to me to show through my music which gives people hope and allows them to hope in God.”
