Israel Tafara on SoundBetter

Hey! I’m Israel, a sound engineer and creative based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe — where I’ve spent years shaping vibrant soundscapes that connect deeply with raw emotion and story. I specialize in mixing and mastering music that pushes boundaries, especially within alternative, hip-hop, trap-soul, experimental, and African-influenced genres.

Hey there — I'm Israel Tafara Mhandu, a multidisciplinary creative and sound engineer based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. My practice centers around sonic storytelling. I don’t just mix tracks — I translate emotion, texture, energy, and vision into finished sound. Every mix I work on is a conversation between the artist’s intent and the listener’s experience. My job is to make sure nothing gets lost in translation.

Over the years, I’ve developed an approach rooted in intuition, experimentation, and deep listening. My engineering style leans toward the bold, the emotive, the layered. I specialize in mixing and mastering alternative hip-hop, experimental fusion, Afro-soul, ambient textures, and left-field pop.
