About NdoMzy
Ndomupeishe Beverly Chipendo who goes by the moniker, “NdoMzy” is as vastly talented as she is passionate about her art. Artistic expression is to NdoMzy what air is to the lungs. She believes that it is one thing to dedicate oneself to artistry, but another thing altogether when the “self” becomes an art. She is not merely an artist. Her vibrant energy proves testament to this with her ability to speak volumes even before she expresses herself through her multiple disciplines.
While dance and choreography are her most frequent media of expression, the vibrant young lady who hails from Harare, Zimbabwe is also a singer, percussionist and instrumentalist, actress, image model and lastly a Radio presenter. Thus she regards herself as a Multi-disciplinary Creative.
Besdies her work as a freelance dancer and dance instructor, she is also a backing vocalist and percussionist for 2 bands namely: Hope Masike’s band and UMASA.
She plays a few instruments as a percussionist and instrumentalist which including the mbira, marimba, ngoma ne hosho (drums & shakers), the djembe, dumdum and the Saxophone.
NdoMzy denounces the misconception that artists are synonymous to school dropouts who have no regard for education. She earned a Diploma in Performing Arts under the Dance Institute, Dance Foundation Course (DFC) now known as Afrikera Arts Trust (AAT) which offers diverse genres and styles of dance. She also holds a Professional Certificate in Music under the Music Crossroads Academy Zimbabwe, Zimpapers Radio training completion and a B1 Zumba Instructor Certificate.
Ndomzy is a three-time nominee at the National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) having performed in numerous productions from various art spaces nationally, regionally and on international platforms. Some of the biggest highlights include her work with (National Arts Merit Awards) NAMA 20th edition #Amalevels, HIFA (Harare International Festival of the Arts), working with different local artists namely Tammy Moyo, Hope Masike, Janet Manyowa, Jah Prayzah and Mokoomba just to name a few, being part of the BONGILE WE ARE cast as the “14 year old” Bongile and lastly being a cast member in Mother Africa (an African circus arts company).
NdoMzy who describes herself as a naturalist and a culture preserver is vocal about her cultural background as part of the Kore-Kore tribe which is a sub-group of the Shona ethnic group. While the advent of technology has unified the world as a global village, it has also diluted certain cultural practises in some parts of the world particularly in Zimbabwe hence she uses dance and music to celebrate her roots and traditions.
NdoMzy is very eager to learn, collaborate and network with other artists.
She seeks to excel in the performance field, through hard work and collaborations. As she grows in her wealth of knowledge through her experiences, she seeks to share knowledge with younger generations of artists and ultimately enrich the Zimbabwean culture through music and dance.
