“Zapp is like the Quincy Jones’s in the US. What makes him exceptional is that, 1. Zapp is an accomplished musician 2. A great singer 3.. A multi-instrumentalist, a Composer, a Producer and a Performer who worked passionately just for the love of the game. Zapp needs to be honored and I pray he lives longer for some of us to ensure that,” Rex Omar said.
