Jude da Dude

My name is Judah Sihlabela, a.k.a Jude da Dude. I was born in March 2007 in the United Kingdom. Growing up, my family and I treated music as a major part of our lifestyle. We used it as a tool to garner a community. Personally, some of my favourite genres of music were pop, EDM, jazz, soul and techno. I would enjoy myself jamming to mainstream and video game music frequently! When I turned 14, my parents gifted me a keyboard for my birthday, and I was eager to learn all kinds of unique songs for my family! I wanted to observe and grasp the core fundamentals of music-making. I also play trumpet for a band! Years ago, my brother (1000Tees on social media) was into music just like me. When I was in church or at his musical play, he would, at times, be the lead singer. That alone would lead him to eventually make his own beats and take on his full-fledged role as a British singer and producer in his town, and as his younger brother, I followed in his footsteps. I practised making my own music demos through GarageBand and Logic Pro, respectively, along with his mentorship. It's also what led me to do beatboxing! I’ve eventually merged my keyboard-playing, beatboxing and DJing techniques that birthed the music that exists on my channels! I do hope you enjoy what I do up on here! 😎
