Life
Youth and education
Ivânea da Silva Mudanisse was born on October 25, 1979 in the Mozambican capital Maputo . She became interested in music and singing at an early age and began dancing hip-hop when she was 14 . After finishing school, Mudanisse studied law at Eduardo Mondlane University . She graduated with a licenciatura and worked for a short time in the legal department of a bank, but left it very quickly. She herself describes her work at the time as "very boring" and "slave-like".
Musical advancement
In 2005 Mudanisse began to work for the musical reality show "Fama Show" on Mozambican broadcaster stv . She also worked on two music albums by the Mozambican singer Lizha James . James' husband, who is also the manager of the music label Bang Entertainment , has agreed to sign Mudanisse. In the same year, Mudanisse released her first single entitled "Haterz" under the stage name Dama do Bling - in German roughly "Bling-Bling-Dame".
The commercial success of the Dama do Bling came quickly. Foreign media also became aware of her, the South African television station Channel O nominated her in four categories, she won the two “Best Video by a Female Artist” and “Best Video from Southern Africa”. In 2007 she released her first album with 15 tracks, including the song "Cala-te boca" ( Eng : "Shut up") with the participation of Azagaia .
In addition to her musical success, the Dama do Bling also tried her hand in fashion - her collection won first prize at Maputo Fashion Week 2009. In 2008, she also published an autobiography entitled “Diário de uma Irreverente” (Diary of a Disrespectful ), which however hardly sold. In 2008 she left her previous label and founded her own label with her temporary partner Valdemiro José in 2009. Under this label she released a new single entitled "Chamadas para a Bling" and later the album "Diferente, mas igual".
In 2012 she took a break to give birth to her child, but then began to be musically active again. At the end of 2013 she released another music album called "Deusa". In 2014 she gave birth to another child. In the meantime, Mudanisse has devoted herself more to her own fashion business, and she also works on the side for marketing a digital television station.
Discussions
The life of Mudanisse is regularly featured in the Mozambican tabloid media. In particular, her previous relationship with the musician Valdemiro José and the subsequent separation from him was a much discussed topic due to Mozambique's conservative ideas about marriage. She also appeared pregnant with less clothing in prime time on Mozambican television in 2008, but lost the child a few months later - both of which are equally hotly debated topics.
