Ukitaka kujua kuwa ku-shine hapa Bongo ni juhudi zako tu mwenyewe za kupiga kazi usiku na mchana,bila kulala na mwisho wa siku kufikia malengo yako basi mfano wa kuigwa ni huyu Birthday boy Diamond Platnumz.Diamond alizaliwa tarehe 2, October mwaka 1989 katika Hospitali ya Amana Dar es salaam   mnamo wa saa kumi na moja na kupewa jina la  Nasibu Abdul Juma . Akiwa na umri mdogo wazazi wake walitengana na baba yake kumuacha bila msaada wowote  na ikabidi wahamie Tandale Magharibi kwa bibi  yake mzaa mama, na hapo ndipo yakawa makazi yao.. Historia yake ni ya kusikitisha kama alivyoelezea kwenye wimbo wa binadamu wabaya.
Mnamo mwaka 1995  alianza kupata elimu ya Nursery katika shule ya Chakula Bora iliyopo  Tandale Uzuri hadi alipomaliza na kujiunga na Elimu ya Msingi yaani  (Primary School) mwaka 1996 katika shule ya msingi Tandale magharibi  iliyopo jijin Dar-es-salaam. Ilipofika mwaka 2000 akiwa darasa la tano  diamond alionekana kuanza kupenda sana muziki, hivyo alianza kucopy  baadhi ya na kukrem nyimbo za wasanii waliokuwa wakihit ndani na nje ya  nchi kwa kipindi hicho na kuwa anaimba katika sehem tofautitofauti.

Mara nyingi mama yake alikuwa akimnunulia kanda za album  za wasanii tofauti  waliokuwa wakihit kipindi hicho na hata kumuandikia baadhi ya nyimbo za  wasanii hao ili mwanae aweze kuzishika na kuimba kirahisi, na wakati  mwingine hata kumpeleka katika matamasha tofautitofauti ya tallent show  ili mwanae apate nafasi ya kuimba, kitu ambacho baadhi ya ndugu wa  familia waliona ni kama kumpotosha na kumuharibu mtoto huyo badala ya  kumuhimiza kimasomo. Kiukweli hali ya maisha yao ilikuwa ni ngumu saana, maana mama Diamond hakuwa hana source ya kumuingizia kipato, hivyo  ilibidi atumie kias kidogo anachokipata toka kwa kodi ya vyumba viwili  alivyopewa na Mama yake yaani bibi yake diamond na vibiashara vyake  vidogovidogo vya mikopo kwa kumsomeshea na kumlea diamond, hakika hali  yao ya Kimaisha ilikuwa ni ngumu sana, hivyo iliwaradhimu wote kuhamia  katika chumba cha bibi huyo ili kupangisha vyumba vile viwili alivyopewa
mama diamond…

Baada ya kuhitimu shule ya Msingi mwaka 2002 na kutaka  kuanza masomo ya Secondary mwaka 2003  mama yake alimwambia aachane na
Muziki kabisa na azingatie na Masomo ili aweze kupata elimu itayomsaidia hata kwa muziki wake baadae kwa maana asingeweza kushika vitu viwili  kwa pamoja muda huo. Akiwa secondary diamond aliendelea kufanya muziki  kisirisiri bila mama yake kujua na kufikia mwaka 2004 taratibu akaanza  kujifunza kuandika nyimbo zake mwenyewe. Baada ya kuhitimu elimu yake ya Secondary mwaka 2006 mwaka 2007 alijikita rasmi katkia sughuri za  muziki ili kujaribu kutimiza ndoto zake.
kiukweli haikuwa ni safari  rahisi kama alivyotegemea hadi kupelekea time kuanza kutafuta vibarua  toafauti tofauti ili mradi aweze kupata riziki na kuepuka hali ya  kushinda nyumbani, ikiwemo kuuza mitumba, petrol station, kupiga picha,  kupigisha simu, kazi za viwandani hata wakati mwingine kuingia kwenye  makundi ya kucheza kamali za mitaani ili aweze kupata pesa ya kuingia  studio kurecord lakini bila kufanikiwa, kiukweli ulikuwa ni wakati mgumu sana hadi ikamradhimu kuuza pete ya Dhahabu ambayo alipewa na mama yake mzazi aivae na kumdanganya kuwa ameipoteza na ndipo hapo alipofanikiwa  kuingia studio kurecord nyimbo ya kwanza iitwayo toka mwanzo..

kutokana na kutokuwa na mazoea ya kurecord hakuweza kutengeneza nyimbo ambayo ni  hit lakini wimbo ule ulianza kumpa conections tofauti tofauti maana wengi walishangazwa jinsi alivyoingia kwa mara ya kwanza studio na kuweza  kutengeneza wimbo kama mtu ambae ni mzoefu, hivyo iliwafanya kuamini  kuwa akipata nafasi ya kurecord mara kadhaa angeweza kufanya kitu  kikubwa.. wimbo ule ulimfanya aweze kukutana na Chizo mapene ambae  alijitolea kumsimamia, na kweli wakaanza kurecord album lakini bahati mbaya wakiwa katikati ya kurekodi album hiyo anayemsaidia alipata  matatizo ya kifedha na hakuweza tena kumsaidia hivyo ilimbidi  Diamond aanze tena upya kuzunguka katika studio tofauti kuomba  kusigniwa kwenye record label lakini kote hakuweza kufanikiwa, wote walimwambia bado kuimba hajui na kuto kutaka kumsikiliza kabisa…
kiukweli kilikuwa ni kipindi kigumu sana maana hata yule mpenzi wake ambae alikuwa nae alimuacha kwakua alikuwa ameshachoshwa na ndoto hewa ambazo  alikuwa akiziota kila siku diamond kuwa ipo siku atafanikiwa kimuziki na kuwa mwanamuziki mkubwa na wao kuish maisha mazuri, kitu ambacho kilimchanganya na kumuumiza sana diamond hususan kwa kauli aliyomuambia ya “skiza Diamond mi kwa sasa siwezi kuwa na mwanaume ambaye hana maslahi kwangu” kutwa ilikuwa ikimpitia kwenye kichwa na kujiona kama mwenye mikosi.

Kurecord wimbo wa kwanza ulioenda kwa jina la “Nenda kamwambie”, wimbo  ambao Diamond aliimba  kwa uchungu  huku akimuimbia
