Nurdin Bilal Ali (born July 16, 1990) – better known by his stage name SHETTA – is currently one of the most successful music artists in Tanzania, having managed to have a number of his songs reaching peak positions on various music charts in the country and across the African continent.
He then released his debut single, “Mi Naplay”, featuring one of Tanzania’s hip-hop legends, @MwanaFA. The fact that @MwanaFA, who is an early name in the East African country’s hip-hop scene, agreed to work with such a new artist (by then) indicated that Shetta had star qualities, and was going to have a brilliant music career in the future. Like elsewhere in the world, established artists in Tanzania would only agree to collaborate with new artists who show great potentials.
In 2010, he officially released another single that introduced him well to Tanzanian music scene, named “Nimechokwa” featuring one of leading local R&B star, Belle9. The hit song earned him enough credibility and provided him with several opportunities to perform across Tanzania.
A year later, Shetta released another hit song, “Mdandanda” featuring two household names in Tanzania’s ‘bongoflava’ scene, Dully Sykes, and Tundaman. f In 2012, he released another hit, “Nidanganye”, featuring one of the biggest names in African music, Tanzania’s own Diamond Platnumz.
