Roy and Royce

Roy and Royce is the Zimbabwean twin singing duo of Roy and Royce Gomo. They gained popularity during the Urban Grooves movement of Zimbabwe,[1] and they have recorded under Galaxy Entertainment and their own label, Twin Peaks Recordings.[2]

The twins took music lessons from form 1-4 at Gokomere High School and later recorded at Old International radio. They started off as a trio with their friend, Misheck Chikaka, in a group called ROMIRO. It was short-lived, however, and the twins and Chikaka went their separate ways.[3]

The pair kicked off their music career with their hit "Handirege" in 2002,[4] immediately followed by "Zuva Rangu". Both tracks reached number 1 on Zimbabwean music charts. They went on to release a full album entitled Gogogoi, which went on to produce three more hits, including the title track.

The duo's follow-up album from 2003, Tenda, with four hit songs.[5][6][7]
