Quincy Diane

Story

Selibe Phikwe, Botswana based Singer- songwriter Quincy Diane grew up in an Rnb art loved family. I vividly still remember hearing the song "Who do you tell when you love someone" by Tamia for the first time at the age of 7 and somehow I spontaneously feel in love with the genre. I seriously never thought the love would grow and make me want to start a music career as a singer said Quincy. But it all didn't start after a catalyst or when one of his friends many years later got badly hurt in a relationship just before their final Film University exams and almost didn't graduate that Quincy kick started his music career with his first single STEWIE composed and written in a way that it was specifically for him to help him cope. The song did it's intended purpose and somehow also attracted attention from soon to be fans. With over 900 requests and downloads of the single, Quincy decided to do another song just to test waters again and it was well received. With positivity in the air Quincy decided to drop his first EP entitled Good Hearts as an extension to the his first single after extensive hours of watching lyrics writing tutorials and on YOUTUBE. Finishing, he stated that he wishes to work with other creative's one day, either established or coming up as music is best enjoyed together.
