Nicholas Chase Skuza is a Zimbabwean Musician and brother to Solomon Skuza. Chase is famous for hit songs like Banolila.

Background

Chase is from Plumtree. His father Jackson Skuza influenced and inspired Chase and Solom Skuza's music careers.

Chase Skuza's father used to sing and was a famous man in Ntoli, Plumtree. He sang during the time of choristers where there were no guitars.

Chase said when their father died in 1973, his late brother Solomon started to show an interest in music.[1]

Music career

He was with Khumbulani from Tukuye Sounds. Khumbulani's first single was recorded in Magwegwe after being groomed by Solomon. Chase went to South Africa as he had also grown into a musician inspired by his father. Skuza continued with music and worked with a lot of musicians such as Bhekumuzi Luthuli. He met the likes of Zamalek, David Simelane and they had shows together in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Chase followed in the footsteps of his legendary brother Solomon and has produced a lot of hit songs in the process.

After his brother's death in 1994, Zimbabwe Music Corporation's Tymon Mabaleka who was Solomon’s producer told Chase that Khumbulani could not do well singing Solomon Skuza's music and asked him to fill the gap.[1]
