Birmingham, UK – Martin Chitsa, the outspoken UK-based Zimbabwean music blogger known as Mr. Smooth, has been nominated for the prestigious Zim Achievers Award in the Male Personality category. The Zim Achievers Awards, founded by Conrad Maanza, annually celebrate the accomplishments of Zimbabweans residing in the United Kingdom. The ceremony for the 2025 edition is set to take place in Birmingham on Saturday, May 17th at The Grand Hotel.
Mr. Smooth has carved a unique and often controversial niche for himself within the UK Zimbabwean music scene. He is a familiar face at various Zimbabwean music events and barbecues across the UK, where he meticulously observes and later shares his unfiltered analysis on his popular Facebook page.
His approach is characterized by a no-holds-barred style, earning him both admiration and criticism. While some promoters appreciate his honest feedback, others have found themselves on the receiving end of his sharp commentary. Mr. Smooth is known for his thorough assessments, often arriving at events well in advance to scrutinize aspects such as the venue setup, toilet facilities, and overall hygiene standards.
