Born in 1983, Mic Inity is one of Zimbabwe's greatest live reggae artists and songwriters influenced by the best classic reggae artists of Jamaica

Influenced by the classic reggae artists of his father's generation, Mike Madamombe emerged from small town in Marondera, 100 km from the capital, Harare, Zimbabwe. In 2003, he left the town to follow his musical dream.

Making his way to the capital, Harare he fast was acclaimed as a gifted singer, he performed with various groups before settling down to a 3-year stint with reggae band Transit Crew as their lead vocalist.

As lead vocalist and front man with them, he entertained hundreds of reggae-lovers, built a sizeable following, and had the opportunity to perform with the likes of Jamaican reggae stars Luciano and Mikey General, and with the late Lucky Dube at the South African Macufe Festival in Bloomfontein.

In 2008 they also performed alongside Jah Seed of South Africa's Bongo Muffin, and King Butilero.

In March 2009 Mic Inity was the final act at the foot-stompin', crowd-pleasing youth festival 'Nguva Yedu - Thuba Lethu - Our Time' at The Book Café in Harare, where he welcomed SA's Gang of Instrumentals' Riot Zhungu and Ugandan Jose 'Chameleone' Manyanja to his stage for a phenomenal 'jam', an explosion of energy and riddims which rocked the festival to its roots, and set the hundreds-strong young Harare audience ablaze. Unknown to each other before this festival, the impromptu jam by the 3 African tenors was a totally unplanned but highly successful cultural collaboration between artists of diverse origin in Africa.

"These were guys I had watched on TV, admired from afar, and when I found myself on the same stage, I was breathless! They responded to my invitation, it was well, and everyone was happy!"

Following him branching into a solo career in 2008. He has shared the stage with artists such as Sizzla, Capleton, Jah Thunder, Red Rat, Mr Easy, Popcaan, Wildlife, Jah Demention, Lutan Fyah, P-Square and Tony Rebel just to name a few.

In August 2008 Mic left Transit Crew to grow and explore the musical landscape as a solo artist. Thus emerged Mic-Inity, playing what is best described as 'cultural, lovers rock, conscious, dancehall reggae', and his powerful vocal delivery quickly gained recognition, attracted a strong following and now plays around the capital, Harare to full houses, with a popular regular midweek show at one of Harare's foremost live arts venues, The Book Cafe on Wednesday and The Red Fox Hotel on Friday's where there is usually standing room only.

Mic-Inity was named for Mic=Unity, being sharing the mic and working with other artists in the same industry. His live performances always welcome guest artists to share the stage and the limelight during his non-stop 3-hour performances.
