PDK gets Vevo YouTube channel
Popular Namibian kwaito group PDK has become the first independent artists in Namibia to have their own Vevo YouTube channel.
The YouTube channel, named PDK Namibia has two music videos namely 'Ondjema' and 'Aaah'. Ondjema and Aaah have over 7 700 and 570 views respectively.
Their first debut album 'Skoko', earned the group their first Namibian music award in the Best Duo-Group category in the 2008 Sanlam-NBC music awards.
In March 2012 the group withdrew from the Namibian Annual Music Awards (NAMAs).
Asked on whether the trio will participate in this year's NAMAs, the trio's lead singer, Patrick Mwashindange said that they have entered and are waiting to know on whether their application has been accepted.
“It's up to them to nominate us. If they don't nominate us then I don't know.
The issue in the past is that we did apply but somehow things did not work out for us,” said Mwashindange. The 'Dirty Kandeshi' hit-makers started off as dancers and were known as the Action Boys. Later they changed their name to Action Geez.
After joining the mainstream in 2006 as PDK, the trio has released 11 studio albums with 'Odikwa' being their latest. The 16-track album is available online on iTunes.
Their Vevo YouTube channel, which was published in January this year, has over 150 subscribers so far.
Namibia only has one other musician who has a Vevo YouTube channel. Lazarus Shiimi, better known as Gazza, had his Vevo YouTube channel published last year in July.
The 2017 NAMA Male Artist of the Year has accumulated over 270 000 views in total for music videos for his two smash hits 'Up up away' featuring Nyanda and 'Abangani Bako' featuring Emtee and Saudi.
