He describes his love for music as an outlet where one can express their emotions.
“Music is a great way to work through both the dark and the light sides of our emotions. Music explains things when words fail, it speaks. It makes me think about how it relates to life and I love the beats.”
He released an EP, Double Wowza, a collaboration with his friend and former Big Brother Africa house mate Zeus from Botswana.
Namate reflected on how the collaboration came about in the Big Brother house.
“There was lot of time spent interacting with other country’s representatives. Zeus and I found we had a few things in common, mainly music. We spoke of collaborating on a mixtape and the title track came from the slang I came up with called WOWZA, which means wow but just extra.
