Jah Prayzah, real name Mukudzeyi Mukombe, was born in 1987. He came into the limelight as a band member and leader of the group Third Generation.

He is popularly referred to by fans and media as Musoja, the Shona word for soldier, a name he earned mostly because of his signature band uniform of military regalia. The name Jah Prayzah comes from his name, Mukudzei, which means praise Him.

According to www.jahprayzah.com, Jah Prayzah started doing music while in secondary school. But his first serious project was with DJ Thando which resulted in singles such as Sorry Mama and Seiko.

In 2007, he released his first commercial album, Sungano, which was followed by four other albums with mild levels of success.

In 2015 he released his sixth studio album, Jerusarema.

One of his most notable works is a collaboration with award-winning Tanzanian artist Diamond Platinumz on his hit song Watora Mari, which reached over a million views on YouTube in less than a month after its release. However, it is his hit song, Mudhara Vachauya which loosely means ‘the big boss shall come’ which has established him.
