Yesterday, musician Nutty O dropped exciting news about his upcoming project, the ‘Cornerstone Mixtape’.

Born on June 22, 1992, in Harare, Nutty O’s musical journey began with the reggae beats of UB40, a band he loved listening to with his father. Growing up, he soaked in the reggae vibes, which later became a significant influence on his own music.
High school wasn’t just about textbooks for Nutty O; it was where he earned his musical stripes. His peers dubbed him “Nutty,” a name reserved for the crazy and lit guys. The “O” came from “Operator,” a fitting title for the rare guy who could electrify his strict school environment with musical prowess.
Educationally savvy, Nutty O pursued studies in Telecommunications Systems and Digital Marketing after completing his Advanced Level. He’s out here proving that musicians can be both talented and educated.
In 2014, Nutty O took the plunge into a full-fledged musical career, catching the attention of veteran producer Funkydalic. Together, they unleashed a string of hits that resonated with the streets, earning them airplay and radio interviews.

The same year, he shared the stage with Jamaican artist Charly Black, closing the year with a nomination for the most promising artist at the Zimdancehall Awards.
2016 saw Nutty O accelerate his musical journey with the release of “Do It Alone,” gaining international recognition as it premiered on Jamaica’s Suncity Radio. Tours in the UK and South Africa solidified his status as a global performer.
In 2017, Nutty O signed with Military Touch Movement, owned by the legendary Jah Prayzah.
