Shorty Mic

If when you hear Hip Hop you imagine the bling, the fashion, the girls, the lifestyle, or maybe the brutality and the gangs, or anything cliché, then think again. PettiKash is a hardworking, determined lyricist, songwriter and entrepreneur who is aimed at using his skill and ability on the mic to not only better himself but also impact the world around him in a positive way. Born Tendekai Paddington Maforimbo in Harare Zimbabwe, PettiKash grew up with a wide influence of different music genres which he credits his songwriting to, namely Reggae, Country, Jazz and old school Rock n Roll. His interest in hip hop was later inspired by NAS, DMX, Talib Kweli, Mos Def and other great wordsmiths of today and times gone by. PettiKash moved to Sydney, Australia in early 2000’s and later on moved to Melbourne in 2014 to escape some of the wrong influences in life. He has since released ten singles, and has shared stage with MadChild, Swollen Members, Dj Unk, Cali Swag District, Dizzy Wright, Merkules, Swifty McVay and Obie Trice. Pretty solid names there – and PettiKash is determined to make one of his own. The emcee is not just focused on making it himself though. He has also created Kash Empire Entertainment, his own label which he aims to use as a vehicle to help troubled and disengaged youth and to unite people and communities through art and music. Reach one and teach one – that’s real. PettiKash’s music can be found all over Spotify, Youtube, Apple Music, Deezer and more…
