Nasibu Abdul Juma, mainly known as Diamond Platinumz, is a talented Tanzanian musician and the best musician in Africa. I love almost all his songs and I listen to them every day. Anybody who knows me knows that I love Diamond Platinumz’ songs.
Diamond Platinumz is a superb artist because all his songs are hit songs. Many people, including me, wonder how he has managed to release hit songs since he officially released his first song in 2009. He has collaborated with amazing African musicians, particularly Fally Ipupa, Koffi Olomide, Davido, etc. He has also collaborated with American musicians such as Neyo, Rick Ross, and Omarion.
Besides being a musician, he owns a record label, TV station, and radio station. He has signed amazing musicians who are now ranked among Africa’s best artists.
I have watched most of his interviews, and while watching, I noted down the following quotes.
Enjoy:

- The most important thing is to focus on yourself and your career development. /Cha muhimu ni kujiangalia wee mwenyewe ubora wako wa kazi unafanyaje.
- If it’s not God’s will for me to fail, then it will be difficult for me to fail in music. /Kama Mwenyezi Mungu hajaandika, kwangu mimi kufail kwa muziki itakua kazi sana
- I don’t go out a lot. I stay indoors a lot. / Sitoki out sana. Nakaa ndani sana.
- If you are an artist you must understand the market and know what you want. / Msanii lazima ujue unataka nini. Lazima ujue soko vizuri
- I am always in the studio 24/7. / Me nakaa 24/7 studio
