For an Afro-pop group that is still rising, they have done absolutely well in the songs they have been dishing out, and their debut album is receiving significant popularity from their fans.

 FAMILY AND BEGINNING

Blaq Diamonds pop group members Ndu and Danya (25 years old) are from Ladysmith, Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. Ndu, also a producer, started writing and singing at the early age of 8 and Danya, who has been attracted to fame from the early age of 8, also had a significant interest in music.

Their paths crossed in 2010 when they went on a school trip together, and they both partook in the music rhythm going on on the bus on the school trip. Then, they realized they were both talented and could link up to make music.

They both started meeting up and training together to grow their skills. They started singing together at school talent shows, and people started seeing what they were made of. The influence brought by Hip-hop culture had a great play on the formulation of their group.

The pop group members later moved to Johannesburg to pursue their dreams further. Their primary mode is Afro-infused, merging Afro-pop, Hip-hop, and Soulful House sounds. Their music ultimately promotes love, respect and integrity.

 EDUCATION

Blaq diamonds group members attended the same High school, where they met and started performing together. The duo, who had always wanted to be a singer, focused more on their art, so they were average students who scored high in music, football and entertainment.

MUSICAL MILESTONE

The artists got their breakthrough when they released their hit single “ibhanoyi”, which became a fan favourite and brought them to perform at significant shows in S.A. However, music started at a very young age, from reciting poems to performing at music shows.

Their type of music is that of love, honesty, peace as well as soulful joy. They got their name due to being rare and epitomized with a gem “black diamond”.

After appearing at mini-shows, they got noticed by Ambitiouz Entertainment, who signed them on, and they released a love single titled “Sthandwa”, which came out in 2017. The song gained much recognition and helped them build more on their art. Blaq Diamond, since their debut, have worked with top South African artists Like Mono T, DJ Bobsta, and DJ Maphorisa.
