Biography
Early Years
Charity Zisengwe (pronounced as Zee-sank-way) was born and raised in Mutoko, Zimbabwe and grew up in a Christian home where both parents were leaders in their church. She is the 7th of nine siblings. Charity has three brothers and 4 sisters. Her eldest brother died in 1996. Her mother died in 2003 and her father followed in 2005.
As a student at Murewa High School, Charity formed a trio with two of her dormitory roommates, Rhoda Chani and Kezzie Ndori, during her third year. Many students began to join the trio, which subsequently grew to a mass choir of more than 50 students.
After high school Charity moved to New Jersey to attend college. She graduated from Montclair State University (NJ)[1] with a BSc degree in Business majoring in Marketing. The following year she earned her Post Graduate Diploma in Marketing from The Chartered Institute of Marketing [2] in London, (UK).
Recording Career
In 2003 Charity began writing and performing her own songs. She went to Jeffrey B Rogers Music and Creative Services studio to record her debut CD armed with her lyrics and her voice, and no back-up singers.[3] Rogers produced her album. She recorded all the vocals, with all three-part harmonies. In 2006 "There Is A Way", one of the songs on her self-titled debut CD, won the first place prize in the songwriting competition at The Babbie Mason Music Conference International [4] Charity Zisengwe was recorded in two versions, an a cappella and music version which she subsiquently titled Introducing Charity Z.
In October, 2010 Charity released her second CD titled AMAZING. This project was produced by Sonny Lallerstedt, a worship leader in Marietta, GA. AMAZING is an 11-track project of original songs that were written by Charity.
Charity has also had the opportunity to share the stage with international gospel singer and her mentor, Babbie Mason.
Speaking Career
According to her official website [5], Charity states that she grew up as a shy girl, but she had a great passion for singing. Through her passion for music, she was able to go up on stage. Her speaking ministry came up after she had already started singing. She speaks in churches, youth events, women's events and conferences. On the most part when Charity is invited at special events, she does both singing and speaking.
In 2008 she began to share her testimony about living single and she has been invited to speak at women's events, by women who have watched her videos on her website. She has also appeared on Atlanta's TV57 [6] on Babbie's House and Atlanta Live, and Watchmen Broadcasting[7]to share her testimony about living the single life and how God has used her to touch lives while single. In 2009 Charity hosted monthly Singles' fellowship in her residence to inspire other singles in her church.
