Blaq Diamond is a South African Afro-Pop duo that is composed by Ndumiso Mdletshe and Sphelele Dunywa who are better known as Ndu and Danya. Both born in 1994 and bred in Ladysmith, Kwa Zulu Natal, Ndu and Danya shared a lot in common which led them to embark on a musical journey together.
Ndu is a 22 year old producer, singer and songwriter that started singing at the tender age of 8. His team mate, Danya, is a 22 year old who had always been attracted by fame.
He made it a point to engage in tasks, like soccer, that were followed by a large audience and got him recognition. Their first encounter was back in 2010 when they went on a school trip together where they both partook in a music cypher in the school bus, that’s when they realised that they’re both talented and can use this to their advantage. The duo began dedicating themselves to growing their skills and talent not as individuals but together.
This led to them participating in school functions which earned them fame in the community and local surroundings. The influence of the Hip Hop culture played a big role in the creation of the group, they took part in hip hop stage battles and poetry and this resulted in their musical connection as well as them sharing more knowledge with regards to the industry.
Blaq Diamond relocated to Johannesburg to further pursue their dream. With their primary mode being African infused, they’re known for releasing a combination of Afro-pop, Hip Hop and Soulful house sounds. Their music has always promoted love, respect, integrity, honesty, peace as well as soulful joy. This young duo has a rare, authentic sound that has always been epitomized with a Black Diamond as it is a precious stone from the mud and rare to find, this led to their stage name “Blaq Diamond”.
It was in the winter of 2017 when they signed to Ambitiouz Entertainment and shortly after that they released a love song titled “Sthandwa”.
This gained them much recognition and has helped them build on the music foundation that they have already layed for themselves. They have previously worked with artists such as Mono T, DJ Bobsta as well as renowned DJ Maphorisa. In 2017, Blaq Diamond is set to capture hearts one song at a time and fans should expect a truckload of new music.
