Lady Du Reveals Whether She Has Ghostwritten For Amapiano Artists. Dudu Ngwenya aka Lady Du as she is fondly known by her fans has been in the industry for quite a while now. Her singles Dakiwe and Catalia are some of the most popular songs in the Amapiano scene and she features in Umsebenzi Wethu by Busta 929, Mpura, Mr JazziQ, Reece Madlisa, and Zuma. She is the daughter of veteran R n B DJ Choc, and her uncle is DJ Zan D, meaning music runs in her blood.
Considering that Lady Du has been in the music industry for over two decades now, the star’s uncle DJ Zan D revealed that the star has been a ghostwriter for most piano songs. “What if I told you that she has been a ghost writer for many of your favourite Piano songs?!?!? Give her the title already: Amapiano Queen #idolsjudge #idolssa @ladydu_sa.”
Just when she was ready to quit again, she received a call from Tumelo “Mr JassiQ” Manyoni who introduced her to Amapiano music. She made the singles Dabula and Superstar. “Superstar is me manifesting my life into existence. I sang about being a superstar, driving big cars, and living my dream life and that’s exactly what I received within a year,” she says.“I’ve been told I can’t sing, I’m boring and I’m too old. But Mr JazziQ believed in me and that motivated me to make more music,” she said.
Last year she released the singles Dakiwe with DBN Gogo, Seekay, and Busta 929 as well as the song Catalia with Junior De Rocka, Mr JazziQ, Sleazy and Mellow. “Those two songs put me on the Spotify billboard in New York, but the 20 years of hard labour and not giving up is what got me here,” she added.
