Journey
Mantshane Mignon Malala, professionally known as MRD, is a South African vocalist, songwriter, and performer associated with the country’s township dance music and Amapiano scene. He has built recognition through songwriting credits, featured vocal performances, and collaborations within South Africa’s evolving house and street-music culture.
MRD’s name appears on several collaborative releases connected to artists and producers in the Amapiano and local dance circuit. He is credited as a songwriter and vocalist on tracks such as “Zimbi” by Dr. Lamondro, Kabza De Small, Fanzo, and Brown Deluxe, where he contributed lead vocals and lyrical composition.
He is also associated with the group 'Team Mosha,' contributing songwriting work on tracks including “Senya Retla Patela” and collaborations linked to artists like Dr Malinga and Seven Step.
Musically, MRD’s style reflects township performance culture, combining repetitive chant structures, dance-oriented hooks, and localized street language common in South African house and Amapiano music. His work often centers on energetic crowd participation rather than traditional pop songwriting formats.
