Mariachi is a self-confessed studio junkie, and is always in a studio somewhere, lacing some producer’s beat with enthusiasm and dedication. He has a strong work ethic, and is his own worst critic, driving many-a-producer crazy with his perfectionism which usually means several takes until he is satisfied he’s delivered his best work. Mariachi is your quintessential rapper combining witty, tongue-in-cheek punchlines, with conscious, meaningful lyricism. His songs have global appeal whilst retaining a distinctly Zimbabwean feel and flavour. Above all that, his lyrics are Real, Raw, and Relevant. Mariachi’s versatility on the mic is remarkable, with raw street appeal on hard-hitting, bass-lines such as “Can I?”, on the one end of the spectrum; and mellow, soul-searching ballads like “A Heart’s Farewell” on the other end. Whilst most rappers shy away from ‘soft tracks’, Mr. Mariano is not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve and bare his soul to his fans; understanding that ‘you gotta show the ladies luv too!’ This however does not weaken his image… it bolsters it.
