The Biography

He is the son of the late bubblegum star Dan Nkosi and he is the man behind most South African top selling hits. As a young boy from Nelspruit in Mpumalanga Province, Dust always had a dream to be a musician and he was fortunate enough that his role model was his farther.  As he moved to Gauteng to pursue his career he got even more inspired by meeting other great musicians that he decided to take a course in sound engineering. He went on to do the course that was offered by Chain Recording Studios. 

While in Johannesburg  he was offered the opportunity to produce one of South Africa’s hip hop greatest, AMU. This became an ice breaker of his career. Then a lot of other upcoming artists started looking for his services. Seeing that Johannesburg was too competitive for him as a young producer, he heard of opportunities in KZN then moved to Durban. 

In Durban Dust was offered another opportunity by Sbongiseni Shabalala of Ladysmith Black Mambazo which he co- owns with Malcolm Nhleko of Maltre, to work as the producer and a sound engeneer in his studio, United Rhythms. Today Dust is counted with South Africa’s best producers since he is the man behind the success of many South Africa’s award winning artists and Dj’s. 

He has produced for DJ Bongz double platinum sold album Thina Sobabili (Best Dance Album, Metro Award), Sthandwa Sami (Platinum), Lvovo Derrango (Shelela from the album Bayang’sukela that sold gold) and produced the hit Wavele Waydedela from his third gold sold album, Thab’sile, Dj Chynaman (Album Kata 1), Twitty (Twisted), Zuka of Siy’pholele hit that became no.1 Ukhozi Fm Top 20 for several weeks. He has also produced for Izingane Zoma, Benzy No Mzeyks, Msawawa, Maqhinga Hadebe, Da Babes to name just a few. He has also produced movie sound tracks for the movie I Wish I Was In Jail. If he is not in the studio Dust is taking care of his business as the owner of Dustinity Records which is his independent label. Under Dustinity he has signed artists like Zuka, Zwide and Dj Bax and Dulaz who are resident Djs at UKhozi FM’s Kim Ngcobo’s show. He is currently busy with producing songs for the forth-coming Lvovo Derrango’s album. 


Dust is also one on the man behind the project Kwaito Will Never Die Project which has also released a single Yabuy’ Ikwaito featuring, Tzozo, Benzy No Mzeyks, Zuka, Sandy B, Msawawa, Sosha, Joe Nina, Boss, Travella and Zwide. This is the project which is run by him and Sandy B. Apart fom all these achievements He has also staged a concert to unite Kwaito artists at the Workshop recently and his greatest wish is to be able to do this annually. 

He has also worked as aa afternoon drive show as Sound engeneer  producer for Imbokodo FM. current he is the part time lecture at creative art college and has recently worked with Mi casa on their new song featuring lady’smith black Mambazo.
