Early life
Winky D was born in Kambuzuma, Harare, Zimbabwe. He loved music at an early age, and he began listening to reggae music at the age of eight. So that he could listen to reggae music, he'll spend time searching for and finding audio tapes and records. Trevor Chirumiko, who is also known as Layan, is Winky D's brother. Layan is also a music arranger, singer, and a host.
Wallace Chirumiko attended primary and secondary school in Harare. He started at Rukudzo Primary School and then Kambuzuma High School.
Winky D started appearing at small functions and concerts as a child. When he was 16, Winky appeared at Getto Lane Clashes, which were DJ contests for identifying the gifted, and he was spotted. He was dubbed 'Wicked DeeJay,' but that was shortened to Winky D. He was given the name after a long time because of his music message, which was incredibly popular. His lyrics were explicit, boasting of violence and immorality. However, from 2013, he began singing gospel and also encouraging youths to avoid taking drugs.
Music career
Winky D entered the recording studio with the support of Bartholomew Vera of Blacklab Studios. His first recordings, including "Rasta" and "Dead Inna War," as well as his enthralling stage performances, kept the dance floors crowded. He has since released eleven albums with many chart hits, which have gained him followers around the world, as shown by successful tours in United Kingdom, America, Asia, and South Africa. Winky D has risen to fame in Zimbabwean and African urban/reggae music, with names such as "King of Dancehall," "Gombwe," "Messi ggae," and "Wafa," being linked to him in the ghettos.
Population Services International and the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare initiated a Winky D and Albert Nyoni (Vanyoni Beats) "If you know you are a champion, get circumcised." On January 19, 2012, the band was released in Harare.
