The name Mac-Terry is quickly ringing a bell among the followers of the hip-hop genre, because the highly talented and versatile 19-year-old Terrence Gudani Ndiambani has adopted it for his stage name.
A resident of Lwamondo Zwavhavhili near Thohoyandou, Mac-Terry started writing free verses and rhymes when he was attending Mutshipisi Primary School around 2005. He was following in the footsteps of his older brother, Phindulo Ndiambani. He met Trastick, who became his producer and the man who gave him the stage name Mac-Terry.
“I relocated to Gauteng where I resumed secondary classes at Progress High School,” he said. “I nurtured my talent in Tshiawelo hood.”
He then recorded his mixtape, entitled Rendani Mukwevho, on the hit O tuwa Mulovha featuring his label mate Hot-Smoke. “Music has been a big part of my life and it affects me in many ways – it speaks to us, it brings a sense of calmness, happiness, and peacefulness,” he said.
He was inspired by the music of Mizo Phyll and 2Pac. “These day, people listen to rap music and rap music is trending a lot,” he said. “I like to rap because the sound, use of my voice, tone and rhythm while rapping is the delivery of words to the beat.”
He stated that he was still experimenting and acclimatising himself with the music industry in order for him to see if he could delve into music as a career where he might have to do a university qualification in music. “I see myself setting goals based on my experience, starting small and doing auditions,” he said. “I want to see myself going places and reaching lives with my music as a singer.”
