D-Mike

Mike David Mwanza (born January 25), better known by his stage name D-Mike, is a Zambian Christian hip-hop rapper, theologian, entrepreneur, teacher, and sales and marketing professional.

At a young age, Mike was a hip-hop dancer, but later on, in junior high school, he developed a passion for music. He started out listening to Christian rap artists like Flame, Lecrae, Shai Linne, 116, and a host of others. Though it was hard to balance school and music, Mike’s passion found him writing music during class lessons and at break-time in 2011. Even before he was saved, Mike tried to fit in both the secular and gospel music worlds, a move he later learned was not a good one as his friends and producers advised him to pick a side.
Inconsistent with producers between 2011 and 2014, Mike has worked with Sukari from Sugar Bow Empire, Izu from 808 Music, Ricor No Doubt from Turn Up Music, and Dj Dro . However, currently, D-Mike is affiliated with a record label called Eastside 25.

Mike got saved in 2018, on July 29th, at Kafue Reformed Baptist Church, and recalls that before that, the journey through life was rough. Today, he is passionate about reaching out to people in the streets, in schools, and in prisons using music and his voice.

In this day and age, he is inspired by artists like Shai Linne, Evangel, Mike-Real, Json, Beautiful Eulogy, Alex Faith, Christ Centric, and Lamp Mode.
Mike is a teacher by profession with a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary School Education in the School of Natural Sciences and Philosophy of Religion from Zambia Open University. He is also a theologian from Lusaka Ministerial College (DP), a preacher, and a political public speaker.

D-Mike initially released his first single under 808 Music on September 7, 2019, following a protracted period of quiet in the music industry. (New Man), a song produced by Izu and starring Christ Avenue and Sukari. Therefore, "New Men" is a hymn of adoration and gratitude to God for his unwavering love and constancy. The story of D-Mike's path toward salvation—both past and present—is told in this song.
Soli Deo Gloria, the second track from D-Mike's first episode, which was presented by Izu (808 Music), was released on December 20, 2019. His second track, which became widely popular on radio stations and in public spaces, is regarded as his breakthrough into mainstream Christian hip-hop music. The song includes Andy P, Josh Thee, and Sukari. (Sukari was a contributor to the production.).
D-Mike released additional songs from his extended play Soli Deo Gloria (Ep), which was scheduled to be released on January 31, 2021: The brilliantly crafted song "Sola Fide" (meaning "by faith alone"), with Christ Avenue, Rastel, and Chantel, was released on June 20, 2020.
