Menelik Nesta Gibbons also known as Don Dada is a Zimbabwean born South African citizen who is a multi-platinum selling reggae/hip hop artist on a quest to push convention and carve out a legacy as one of the motherland’s thought leaders and influencers whose music is not just entertainment but about consciousness, identity and pride.
Don Dada’s middle name Nesta named after the late reggae legend Robert Nesta Marley believes a part of his path has always been destiny.
Don Dada signed a deal with the Tuff Gong International Distribution a label founded by the late Bob Marley and was also one of the first Africans to perform at a Bob Marley Tribute Concert Stage In Kingston Jamaica.
