Tanzania: Diamond urged me to go international, according to Zuchu’s official dancer.
Diamond Platnumz pushed Tanzanian vocalist and artist Zuchu, official dancer Angel Nyigu, to become an international dance celebrity.
Angel told Mungai Eve that everything was OK until she met the WCB Wasafi head.
“The biggest artist ambaye nimefanya naye kazi ni Diamond, na so far yeye amekuwa na impact kubwa sana kwenye career yangu.
Yeye ndiye alinipush, akaniambia nenda sasa, do your stuff.
Alinipost nikifanya freestyle na hivyo ndio nikawa viral.”
Going deeper into how Platnumz pushed her, she reminisced how he asked her to do a challenge, posted the video on his timeline, tagged her, and, as they say, the rest is history.
“There is this day tulikuwa tunafanya mazoezi, then akasema tufanye challenge fulani, yeye akashika simu yake akaturecord then akapost kwa page yake akanitag and that’s how nikaanza kupata opportunities zingine.”
The AFRIMA award nominee has only collaborated with Willy Paul in Kenya, although she has stated that she is open to working with other Kenyan artists.
“Ningependa kufanya kazi na mtu yeyote yule ambaye anaweza kunipatia opportunity na tukaelewana. So far nimefanya tu na Willy Paul.”
The choreographer also stated that she had worked with various Kenyan dancers.
When asked if she had met Kenya’s king of surprises, Moya David, she told how they met and practiced dance last year.
“Last year nilikuwepo hapa, nikafanya class, alikuwepo (Moya David) kwenye class na tulifanya pia TikTok videos.”
Angel Nyigu is in Kenya for dancing training and to see old acquaintances.
“Nimekuja for dance classes na kuendelea kuconnect zaidi kama East Africa na kumeet my friends.”
She concluded by stating that her relationship with Sukari’s hitmaker is completely professional.
