Zimbabwean-born and Australian-raised, Tarisai’s journey from Australian Idol to Walt Disney’s The Lion King now leads her to Afrobeats and Afro-fusion with her powerful single Hallelujah.

Tarisai Vushe: From Australian Idol to Global Afrobeats

Tarisai Vushe began singing at age three. Her talent took her to the Australian Idol stage and later to Walt Disney, where she performed in The Lion King. With acting roles in TV series on Stan and Discovery Channel, her creative reach has been vast. But now, Tarisai is leaning into music with a deeper cultural blend.

Inspired by family—especially her aunt and cousin Danai Gurira (Black Panther, The Walking Dead)—Tarisai always knew the stage was her calling.

Hallelujah: A Song of Testimonies and Praise

Tarisai’s latest single Hallelujah was co-written with a Nigerian friend from Port Harcourt. The song offers a unique blend of spiritual reflection and cultural collaboration. It’s rooted in the testimonies of 2023, with a praise-based theme meant to uplift.

“Hallelujah,” Tarisai says, is the best starting point for anyone discovering her music—it carries that “Naija feel” that connects with diverse audiences.

Embracing Nigerian Sounds and Culture

Though based in Australia, Tarisai’s introduction to Lagos reshaped her sound. The local music, food, and community helped her evolve as a songwriter. She’s learned to collaborate across cultures and even dived into Pidgin English.

This cultural openness is one of the many things that make her unique. Her music is now a beautiful fusion of southern African warmth and West African energy.

Tarisai names Lionel Richie and Whitney Houston as key musical influences. Lionel even mentored her during her Idol journey. Now, she continues to grow by listening to new music, attending live shows, and adapting to trends—without losing her unique touch.

Her songwriting process varies—sometimes melody-first, sometimes lyrics-first. What’s constant is her intent to bring hope and love through every verse.
