Nyasha “Hulio” Warmbwa started his career in art about a year ago. The lockdown sure did encourage people to try out new things. Fortunately, Hulio’s work quickly turned into a paying passion. Two of his paintings have already sold for slightly over US$3000.

He has been recognised by artists such as American rapper Lil Wayne and his work was shared on Lil Wayne’s Young Money social media pages. Hip Hop artist Drake’s attention was also grabbed by the artist’s work. He even followed our boy Hulio on Instagram.

It didn’t stop there, Drake recently shared Hulio’s work on his page and it has thus far accumulated 2 million likes.
