Well what can I say? Where do I start? Diamond Platnumz was in Kenya to launch his brand new album-A Boy From Tandale (which is doing very well on all digital platforms).This particular album is really star studded with the likes of Vanessa Mdee on the song ‘Far Away’, Tiwa Savage on the song ‘Fire’, Neyo on the song ‘Marry You’, Rick Ross on the song ‘Waka’ and ‘Hallelujah’ featuring Morgan Heritage just to name a few. Having travelled all over the world extensively, this album is very close to Diamond’s heart. It mostly touches on the musical journey he has gone through and the challenges he faced while growing up before becoming a superstar artist. Raised in Tandale by a single mother and grandmother, Diamond was faced with very challenging and humble beginnings. Due to financial constraints and a passion for music from a tender age, after completing his Secondary education in 2006, Nasibu found himself struggling to raise money for studio sessions and providing for his single mother and grandmother. He went from freelance photographer to selling second hand clothing to gas filling station attendant. He eventually made the difficult decision to secretly sell his mother’s gold ring to record his first single. The song was not an immediate hit but it opened doors for him and marked the beginning of his journey as a bongo flava artist. Over a decade later Diamond Platnumz is one of the most loved and decorated Tanzanian artists.
