Dibango-type musician", Dully Sykes is one of the pioneers of Swahili dancehall in the
African Great Lakes region, and is widely known for dropping hits like 'Julieta', 'Salome',
'Historia ya Kweli', 'Leah'. Some of the tracks he has written are based on true life stories.
After the first album 'Historia ya kweli' which was released in 2003 people started calling his
music 'Mwanasesele', Swahili for a high squeaky noise. With the song 'Handsome' and album
by the same name, he became one of the biggest names in young urban music in Tanzania. Inhis third album, he proved that he is not only an artist but a fully-fledged musician by mixing
different music styles showing his versatility without compromising or changing his unique
African voice. To prove that he is multi-talented, he has been producing music at his newlyformed Dar es Salaam record label called 'Dhahabu Records' and continues to write songs. He
has delivered hooks to lots of artists from Man X's 'Nimechezea Bahati' to P-Funk's 'Please
Forgive Me'. One of his tracks titled 'Handsome' can be found on the African Rebel Music
"Roots reggae and dancehall" CD compiled by international record label, Out Here Records.
