Diamond Platnumz Musical Career
Nasib Juma spent his formative years imitating local and international artists and singing their songs on different occasions. His mother bought for his albums from different artists and assisted him in writing lyrics for some songs so that he can easily sing them.
The singer mother took him to different talent shows hoping he will get a chance to sing; this was against some family members as they were of the view that music was a waste of time and can never be a career, instead they wanted her to encourage him to concentrate on education.
To make it as an artist was not easy. As the kwangwaru hitmaker was trying to raise money for a studio session in 2007, he was forced to engage himself in casual works like selling second-hand clothes, filling station attendants, freelancing as a photographer, and any other work in which there was a little money to be earned. There was a time he was involved in illegal gambling; all that for the money to record his first studio single.
It was not easy for him to save enough money for one studio session and fend for his family with the money he made. He was forced to sell his mother’s gold ring secretly and use the money to pay for his session. As it was his first time in the studio, the song was not an immediate hit but it opened doors for him and marked the beginning of his journey as a bongo Flava music artist.
Through that song, Diamond met Chizo Mapene who volunteered to be his Manager supervising all his musical works. The agreement was for them to do an album but unfortunately, money became a problem and their working relationship came to an end without releasing that album.
Dreams were shattered and royalty was tested; relationships came to an end and friends became strangers. Diamond Platnumz could not get a studio to sign him, his girlfriend left him telling him that she cannot be with someone who cannot provide for her; a dreamer who thinks that he will be one among the great musicians in Tanzania living the life of a Star.
Diamond Platnumz meet Papaa Misifa in 2009 who agreed to support him financially on his first single “Nenda Kamwambie”. That was the song that opened doors for him in the music industry.
