about
DJ DR. DUDA He was born in 1981 July the 18th at Mathyszenloop kwaNdebele in Mpumalanga Province. His real names are Sipho Phillemon Mphahlaza. His love of music started when he was about 8 years old in 1990 after he joined the band called SOUNDS OF HEAVEN playing a keyboard in church. He attended Njomane Primary School, Phaphamani Primary School and matriculated at Dumeleni High School in 2002. He was first introduced to Fruity Loops software in 2002 by his neighbour and teacher Mr. Pat Mahlangu. The latter encouraged him to practice this software harder so as to master it. It was fortunate for Duda because Mr. Mahlangu had a computer. In 2003 he teamed up with the local DJ known as DJ Storm, composed and produced the album titled 'Action 1'.He was nicknamed 'Bhubesi'. He then went on to team up with another local group called May and the Elements in 2004 and released an album called 'Is'khethu'. After this album Duda wanted to quit as he thought that his talent was going to waste. Fortunately, in Mr. Mahlangu he had the father-figure, advisor, teacher and a friend who encouraged him to be patient and continue to practice until the time was right. In 2004/5, both Duda and Pat contacted DJ Mbuso while he was still at Soul Candi. After meeting him, the latter was so impressed after receiving demo CDs from DJ Claude. He further encouraged Duda to work very hard and fortunately he obliged. DJ Mbuso rewarded his hard work by selecting one track called 'Kasie kultcha' produced
