Early life and career

Before becoming a singer, he was mainly known as a dancer, and per-took his dance career in various talent competition both in his local town and nationwide. In 2010 alongside his group, he participated in Dance La Fiesta and emerged the winners of the competition. In 2011, he participated in "Dance Mia Mia" competition but failed to reach the finals.

During his music career Nedy meet with Rashid, who also wrote his first song and took him to the studio. His first track was "Goi Goi" back in 2012, but the track never really panned out to be a success. Then he released "Nijalie", which was Nedy's first experience in the song-writing and breakthrough for his music career.

Upon completion of High School in 2013, Nedy joined the Tanzania House of Talent (THT) and studied for a year and graduated. In 2014, he dropped "Nenda Salama", followed by "Dayana" in 2015 and that's when he gained interest of PKP Entertainment Music Label [5] which is owned by other musician named Ommy Dimpoz. [6] His first song under the label was "UsiendeMbali" which features Ommy Dimpoz, and the song skyrocketed him into stardom. The song topped several charts locally and internationally, including networks such as MTVbase, Sound City and Trace Urban.

Shortly after, he dropped another hit, "Rudi" this time teaming up with the crooner, Christian Bella. As did his previous track, Rudi was an instant hit, and Nedy's career leapfrogged into new heights.
