  • Bio

    Well known by the name DanZak, he is an Omani rnb/pop artist who has over 40 records of high hit potential. His music has a unique sound of an afro-arab blend with modern pop that is rare to find and he is currently based in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. What started as a hobby and a creative outlet for the undiscovered talent, has quickly grown into an international success story for East African born, Omani national, DanZak. A singer, songwriter, producer, entertainer and businessman, DanZak has solely established himself as a true home-grown success story. Considered an 'underground' artist in the Middle East, friends posted YouTube videos of the young talent singing his own songs (Wifey, My Girl and Omani Queen) which quickly racked up over 15,000 views, purely by word of mouth. This star in the making began to shine brightly, without any formal marketing or promotion. In early 2009, DanZak left Oman for Australia to study Aviation where he gained his Commercial Pilot License accredited by CASA. During his 18 months abroad, DanZak wrote, recorded and produced over 40 songs. Releasing them online, his loyal fan base grew at an incredible rate both in Australia and back home in the Middle East. DanZak signed up to Akon's Hitlab (www.hitlab.com), a website where unsigned singers can upload their songs for analyzing against the Top 100 Billboard hits of the past 6 years. Akon, with 6 grammy award nominations himself, offers Hitlab contestants the chance to showcase their own songs with the winner receiving the opportunity to be signed to Akon's label Konlive or Konvict. DanZak held the number 1 spot on Hitlab for an unprecedented 8 weeks! Now with over 6000 fans on his official Facebook fan page and continuous radio air play across the Middle East, DanZak returned home to Oman in June 2010 with overwhelming popularity and unforeseen stardom; especially for someone who has not officially released an album! He has worked with various international and local artists and producers including Kajmir Royale (USA), Symeon (France), Cato (USA), Salma (Australia), The Analyst (Netherlands), ProzpectMuzic (USA), KJ (India), Low Rhyders (India), KGT of G Records (Tanzania), Taqwa and SumaLee (Tanzania) and local Omani talents A.K.D, YungStarz, DK, Joey Jo, Smokey and Scooby. DanZak encourages international collaborations and diversification of his music. He enjoys the music making process and is fanatic bout his music production. A savvy businessman and entrepreneur, DanZak owns production and entertainment company, Music Masterpiece. Once an event planner himself, DanZak's Music Masterpiece, in conjunction with Blonde Mafia Management, is now busy scheduling his own appearances and performances. The future is bright for this dedicated entertainer who performed just weeks after returning to Oman to a sea of screaming fans. "It's very surreal but extremely flattering when fans approach me to ask for an autograph." DanZak says humbly, "Nothing makes me happier than hearing fans say that my new song is even better than the last." DanZak's new and official website coming soon!

Bio:

DanZak, born and brought up in Tanzania, East Africa till the age of 12 where he was sent to Oman for high school. DanZak, a stubborn child he was, did not make it to 2 years in Oman, was then moved to Rwanda, Central Africa for his Secondary education. In the year 2004, he moved back to Tanzania, and that is when he started visiting studios and learning more in recording and producing music. DanZak started music at a young age during his secondary education in Rwanda where his music class teacher invited him to his home studio. DanZak's first song was done in swahili called "nyoka"(snake) which was on a similar flow as R.Kelly's song-Snake. In 2006, DanZak joined TNG Squad, a bongoflava crew in Tanzania where he got to practice his singing. July 7th, 2006 DanZak released his first solo single in "Swahili" language named "Nafissa" which was a hit in many radio stations in the country. He continued music in Tanzania and made his name into charts. Towards end 2006, DanZak performed along other famous artists in East Africa at Club La Casa Chikah in his home city where he got the whole crowd jumping, this was a street talk for few weeks. DanZak's family wasn't happy with with DanZak's musical talent decidedhence he was sent to Oman where he had to either study/work and focus on other things other than music. On February 2007, DanZak got employed with an International Logistics company (not mentioning the name) where he thought that was the end of his music. Mid-2007, Hamdan Zakwani (DanZak) started an events organization named "Music MasterPiece (M.M.P)"and got back in the game. He was focused in parties, concerts and music productions. In February 2008 he got employed with an International Bank (not mentioning the name) where he had more time to his music due to the well balanced work/personal life thing... DanZak continued music and linked up with Joey Jo, Smokey Smoke, Scooby and DJ More where they all brought their ideas together and started again a new phase of music.This time he sang nor Bongoflava neither in swahili, DanZak now got into RnB/Pop and shifted from singing in Swahili to English. It was nice learning to do things in a different way and it continued to be the same hobby. In January 2009, DanZak left banking and moved to Australia for further studies. He now felt the freedom and thought of getting serious with his music. DanZak managed to get his production up and moving. He came back to the game with a HIT featuring Jay Weezle named "Omani Queen" and was all about what he saw in his Omani Queen. Following the Omani Queen, DanZak released tracks like Hope, Head Shoulders Knees & Toes, Wifey, Love Letter and a lots more which spread like fire. He has worked with various artists and Produvers like A.K.D from Oman, YungStarz from Oman, DK from Oman, Joey Jo from Oman, Smokey and Scooby from Oman, Salma from Australia, Symeon from France, The Analyst from Nedherlands, ProzpectMuzic from USA, Kajmir Royale from USA, KJ from India, Low Rhyders from India, G Procutions from Tanzania and also Taqwa and SumaLee from Tanzania. He is looking forward to working with more artists from various places. DanZak, who is also an Airline student Pilot is rising with all forces in his music and has plans of making his talent more than just a hobby. Stay tuned for updates on DanZak! Nothing makes me happier than hearing fans telling me 'this new song is better than the last one', said DanZak ..
