Tamy will play the role of a girl named Chipo, who fearlessly pursues her dreams of being a world star and famous singer, together with her lover. She is basically a small town girl with big dreams. Along the way, her boyfriend flips the script on her dreams and from there the drama begins.[2]

The young diva spoke about how she landed the role. “Well, the director of Gonarezhou, Sydney Taivavashe, had known about me as an artiste for some time, so he basically reached out and asked for an audition clip and from there he saw potential in me and I got the part.”
