The Canada-based Zimbabwean rapper, Charmaine is set to perform at this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) festival. This year the festival will take place on the 17th of March in Austin, Texas, USA.
In addition to Charmaine, the lineup of artists features 80Purppp, Chiiild, Sylo, Snotty Nose Rez Kids and Lex Leosis. The performance at SXSW will come just days after the rapper graces the New Colossus Festival in New York.
South by Southwest, abbreviated as SXSW and colloquially referred to as South By, is an annual conglomeration of parallel film, interactive media, and music festivals and conferences organized jointly that take place in mid-March in Austin, Texas, United States. It began in 1987 and has continued to grow in both scope and size every year. In 2017, the conference lasted for 10 days with the interactive track lasting for five days, music for seven days, and film for nine days. There was no in-person event in 2020 and 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Austin, Texas; both years, there was a smaller online event instead.
Charmaine is signed to Warner Music Canada and she rose to prominence on the back of her debut single “Bold”. The track earned the rapper the Rap Single of the Year Award at Canada’s biggest night in music, the Juno Awards.
The rapper’s single “Logic” was also featured on the soundtrack for the EA Sports NFL game Madden 23.
