IN this digital age, gaining international fame means a lot for musicians. One of the most powerful creative tools available to today’s musicians is international collaboration.
International collaboration offers new opportunities, increases fan base through enhanced visibility, and allows artists to expand their musical knowledge and promotional abilities.
With this in mind, Johannes Matheus, better known as “Namceleb,” aims not only for local but also international collaborations to grow his music career.
Matheus, 25, developed a love for music at a young age. In 2015, he began his musical career after being inspired by Namibia’s own Kwaito king, “Tee Dee.”
“I am looking forward to working with artists in the country and abroad,” he said.
Matheus, a musician based in Oshikuyu village, mentioned that he grew up listening to Kwaito music on the radio, which fueled his passion for singing.
During high school, Matheus started creating his own songs during breaks, but it wasn’t until 2017 that he was able to record them and present them on stage in Walvis Bay.
In 2022, he released his debut album, “Jubilation,” and he is currently working on his follow-up project.
“I am willing and interested in collaborating with talented artists from all over,” he added.
So far, Matheus has worked with artists such as Dizzo Dee, C-square, Suckmluv, and Dama Monique.
