Biography

Mubinga Mutale Lioma Chileshe, known professionally as Talé Sheezy is a Zambian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and visual artist. Hailing from one of Africa's major cities, Lusaka. Talé Sheezy quickly gained notoriety, performing at local festivals and cyphers winning the top award for three years running starting at age 16. At 18, Sheezy won the National Arts Council of Zambia award for Street Culture. He dropped his first mixtape in 2016, A Tale By Talé, on SoundCloud picking up viral support which landed him a deal with London-based record label, Serious Underground Music, seeing international charting. 
 With a strikingly eccentric style fusing rap, soul, and funk Talé Sheezy connects with the current renewed interest in the Jazz influenced “Boom-Bap” golden era hip-hop. Best exemplified by artists like Fugees, 2Pac and Nas, Talé showcases his own unique twist on the sound with his laid back flow and a conscious, poetic lyricism over Soul inspired beats. 
 Despite the challenge of rapping in English in a quickly developing post-colonial country where 73 other official dialects and tribal cultures are recognized and spoken, Talé represents the new globally connected generation of Zambians. With 4 bodies of work, as of 2023, Talé Sheezy is an icon and one of the new faces of undiluted, musical and artistic expression in Africa.
