How Diamond Platnumz Became Tanzania's Biggest Star
Dar es Salaam. When Diamond Platnumz was 17, he worked odd jobs selling secondhand clothing and pumping gas to try to save up money to book a recording session, but it wasn’t enough.
Eventually the singer, born Naseeb Abdul Juma Issack, sold his mother’s gold ring. “I told her I lost it in the bathroom — that it fell down the toilet,” says the now 31-year-old, calling from his home in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
The single from that studio session, “Toka Mwanzo,” which hinted at the R&B stylings he hadn’t yet developed, didn’t take off.
But the session did lead Diamond to his first manager, who paid for more studio time. In 2010, he released what became his breakthrough song, “Kamwambie,” which led to three major wins at the Tanzania Music Awards, and soon after, Diamond released his debut album of the same name.
Steeped in the bongo flava genre — known for its mix of American rap and East African taarab — Diamond’s music, which often turns heartbreak into uplifting anthems, found a fan base.

Diamond, whose real name is Naseeb Abdul Juma, was born on October 2nd, 1989 in Tandale, a ward in Tanzania's commercial capital Dar es Salaam.
Born to a humble family, Diamond's childhood had a number of challenges. At one point, he had to stay at his grandmother's home.
The singer was raised by his mother, Sanura Kassim, also known as Sandra.
