Who Is Archapello?
Archapello also known as "Arthur Zvikomborero Chapata" was born in the city of Harare the Capital City of Zimbabwe,a wonderful country right above South Africa.
He started producing at the age of 18 years old. After being introduced to a program called Fruity Loops Zviko got excited and further constructed on his found skill. Through pain,struggle , Archapello was able to aquire all Producing/recording/mixing,and mastering skills by himself without touching a single Audio Class Book, or even stepping into a single Audio Class.
Now Archapello uses Cubase SX and Nuendo, with a variety of virtual authentic instruments to orchestrate such beats and recordings that the public hear today. Zviko grew up in a Family where he listened to Country and Rock music everyday (weird huh?) Country at home(parents) and Rock(at the international American schools) due to his mothers traveling for work. Archapello however went over the fence and started listening to Techno,Drum n Base and Pop.
So going to the Urban,RnB, Hip-Hop side was a bit of a struggle initially for the poor man. Along the way he was exposed to a variety of music and finally found his taste. Zviko does sing,and rap as well,and is still working on a few RnB and Hip-Hop projects.
He has worked with quite a number of underground Artists. He has produced a very well talented neo soul artist who goes by the name of Zandra Ain ,who has a very powerful voice that will reach and be heard by the public soon. The song "No No" produced by Archapello, is a hot single that shows out Zandras confident and sexy character. More projects are still to come from the young lady from Alabama. Not to mention a feared underground Lady rapper,who goes by the name of Sai,he has produced all her tracks,including a hot Crunk single "Double Up",which should reach the surface soon. He has also produced some tracks for another Artist by the name of Jay Blow, and featured on his very mind blowing song "Blood Vein",where he displays his singing capabilities that originated from Zimbabwe.
Fame is nothing that worries Archapello at all. He has the confidence and knows so well he can compete against even the Top 10 Producers In the game,despite being not very well known. That doesn't bother him. Patience and Hard Work is all thats needed. Its only a matter of time,that this producers name will be on peoples lips.
