I’m inspired by people: Shayne
AFRO-POP musician Shayne real name Walter Chombe says he is inspired by people around him.
The budding entertainer told H-Metro that his lyrics seek to address the ‘‘struggles’’ of the masses in their day-to-day lives.
“My inspiration is the people around me and every situation that goes by in their lives, the pain, the struggles, the tears, the smiles and all of the physical and emotional things that they experience.
“Some of the things apply to me as well and I take and break down their life experiences into a message for my music,” said Shayne.
Shayne, who recently released an album titled ‘‘All 4 You’’, said he wants his music to be associated with the populace.
