Paul Da Prince: Well K-smash introduced me to KB in 2009 at a Bleksem concert, from then on I have been with the label. It has been a very educational and exciting experience working with k-army coz I learn a lot from Daxon who produced my whole album.

KAPA187: You have a song called “Dance” as I listen to that song I can feel a heavy Chris brown influence . Is he someone you look up to?

Paul Da Prince: Yes indeed I get inspiration from Chris brown, Usher, Trey songz and Ne-yo. All my life I have had keen interest in R&B, I listen to a lot of artists. Hence the mixtape I have being all R&B focused.

KAPA187: Was the video you did with Ruff kid ,for the song “Boss lady”, your first video . How did it feel making the video?

KAPA187: Do you get nervous before a performance, and what has been your most memorable performance?

Paul Da Prince: Getting nervous is really normal. But I have a good relationship with cameras and the stage so the second I step onto the stage I am way over the feeling of being nervous. The most memorable performance for me was Miss Cavendish 2010. It was awesome because the crowd was electric and motivating. And our routines were on point.

KAPA187: Do you think Zambian music is headed in the right direction, will a Zambian ever win a Grammy?

The Music

The music has an R&B/Pop feel to it.

Number one

“Tell me that you gonna be my number one” he tells his girl on the chorus. It is a nice mid tempo song that you can dance to with your special someone.

You

“You” is a stand out track , also for that special someone in your life. He has taken care to develop his vocal skills and it shows. Very nice song.
