 Gospels star Dumim Kochstad dumped. Shama Records boss and top gospel artist, Dumizny Dumim Kochstad and Zemanda has lost his first artist, Nathan Sithol. Dumim owns Shama Records and Nathan was his first artist. Dumim introduced Nathan to the gospel industry and he helped him record two albums, Wama Oliezu in 2018 and Ungekumpbule in 2020. But on Friday February 3 they parted ways. It is said that Nathan felt neglected and decided to dump Dumiz's record label. In his public statement, Nathan wrote, This dispatch serves as an official statement to all relevant stakeholders, event organizers, and fans, that Nathan Sithol is no longer under Shama Records after an amicable decision in the best interests of both parties. He will pursue his music career as an individual artist. I appreciate the platforms and doors that Shama Records opened for me and the guidance, coaching, and mentorship by Dumim Kochstad. Nathan told the publication that he wanted to grow and explore the gospel industry on his own. I am not a talkative person, I'd rather keep quiet and act instead of making noise. Dumim has done his part. He gave me enough exposure and I've grown, now it's time to go, he said. He said they had a verbal contract, we intentionally did not write it down because we didn't want to be bound by it. The only condition was that I'd do two albums with Shama Records then I'll be free to do my own thing. This is exactly what I'm doing, I have given him two albums and both of them did very well. We shared the profits in half and we were all happy. But now I need to be on my own, it's about time I collect all the profits of my music. Dumim told the publication that Nathan felt neglected. He approached me and I'd just started my recording label. I took him under my wing and gave him all the support which includes sharing my platforms with him. The two albums did not do well, for the first he was still new in the industry. The second album which was released in 2020 failed because of the lockdown. In addition to this, I have other artists who need my attention. These challenges were too much for him and he felt neglected in the process, said Dumim.
