About DWALAK
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I grew up in Angola inspired by my uncle, who recorded with the Symphony Orchestra of Cuba in 2008. At age 11, in Mozambique, watching my other uncle play Jazz sparked my passion for the piano and R&B, shaping the artist and producer I am today.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Anselmo Ralph, Histórias de Amor Gage, Soul Rebel Gutto, Private Show These albums are my school. Gage and Gutto defined the sound and production style I’ve always admired, while Anselmo Ralph was my biggest reference for composing R&B in Portuguese with the soul that I pour into every track.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Amor é Assim (feat. Mark Exodus)” I chose 'Amor é Assim' because it represents my evolution and maturity as a solo artist. It blends the essence of classic R&B with the modern edge I admire in artists like Tayc, reflecting my vocal growth and my current artistic identity.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? As a founding member and producer of the group DRP, I experienced defining moments that built my musical foundation. Establishing my solo career with hits like 'Amor é Assim' and asserting myself as a visual director are my greatest sources of pride.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? My goal is to elevate Mozambican R&B to a global stage. I want to collaborate with international icons, take our sound to the world's biggest stages, and continue innovating in both music and visual direction while honoring my roots.
