Happy singer releases his first single

HAPPY Mpendulo Mdunjana has released his first single, entitled Belinda. The young and talented Happy was born and bred in Port Shepstone. He began singing at the age of 11 years, when he and his childhood friends formed a boy group.

The group performed for churches, school plays and local events, but immense recognition was established when they won the South African Championships of Performing Arts held in Rustenburg in 2001, where they earned a chance to take part in the World Championships of Performing Arts in Hollywood.

It all began to change drastically after he was introduced to Sphiwe Jula, a Port Shepstone music producer. That’s when the youngster got a head start in professional recording, growing and polishing his craft for some time. A number of events and achievements took place during that period, but the breakthrough came when DJ Bongz, an established Durban deejay, heard ‘Superstar’, a song composed by Happy, which was later included in DJ Bongz’s compilation album.

Happy then went on to compose the hit song ‘Million Times’, which was featured in DJ Chynaman’s album, ‘Chynaman’s House 2’. The song created a major buzz of anticipation in the music industry and it became clear that an album release would soon take off.

Building up to the anticipated album, entitled ‘Ahead Of Time’, Happy has finally released his first single, ‘Belinda’, the video of which has just been released on YouTube, through Dreamer Music Entertainment.

“While the words passion, pain and pleasure immediately invoke stimulating thoughts, for me they have become somewhat of a personal mantra, because they so accurately describe this time in my life,” said Happy.

“The passion I have for my art fuels my drive and work ethic, while the sacrifice of my personal life to benefit my career will always be a source of pain. The pleasure that I derive from my work and my accomplishments makes everything worth it.” he concluded.
