Ndumiso B. Mlambo known by many as SoundQuest, is a DJ-Producer, Entrepreneur, Brand Ambassador and Software Developer. Born raised in Mpumalanga Hammarsdale (KwaZulu-Natal). His love for music took him from the streets of Hammarsdale, to the world center stage, and he’s never looked back since. His Music is largely influenced by the works of OSUNLADE, JIMPSTER, BLACK COFFEE, ATJAZZ, RALF GUM, J COLE and PHARRELL WILLIAMS, just to mention a few. His successful Remix of SMILING WITH THE SUN by THE LAYDERS was featured on DO IT NOW RECORDINGS (MECHANIX OF HOUSE VOL.1) after topping several charts on METRO FM & YFM, which lead to his signing with AM-PM PRODUCTIONS (2011), an Independent Record Label owned by the renowned DJ CLOCK. The young artist was groomed by DJ CLOCK and signed with SOUL CANDI RECORDS (2013) after being featured on two successful releases, (DJ CHINA – DEEP INSIDE) & (FISTAZ MIXWELL - ADDICTV), released by SOUL CANDI RECORDS. He was then selected amongst few, to release his own selection on the critically acclaimed CANDI ROOTS SERIES (CANDI ROOTS VOL.3) mid 2013, which featured artists from the likes of KABOMO, CLINT BRINK, ANTONIO LYONS and ZANO. The release of the album raised eyebrows as it landed on the Number 2 spot on TRAXSOURCE (The Leading Global Dance Portal) first week of release, in the Top 100 Albums Chart. One of the singles from his Selection “APPLE OF MY EYE” which features the talented ZANO caught BLACK COFFEE’s attention & featured the song on his regular Mixes on CAFÉ CULTURE (KAYA FM) throughout the year (2013) along with many other renowned DJ’s from the likes of SHIMZA, MO FLAVA (YFM/CLUB 808), KID PHONQUE (SOUL CANDI), the list goes on. In 2014 he was approached by Grammy Award winner “KIMBRA” (New Zealand) to do a re-make of her Single “SETTLE DOWN” taken from an album she released (2010) titled VOWS. She was impressed with SoundQuest’s version, her record label decided to license the song for an in-house release. The re-make caught VINNY DA VINCI’s (METRO FM) attention, and since then, he’s considered SoundQuest one of South Africa’s most versatile Music Producer.

The talented kindred spirit has become one of South Africa's most talked about DJ/Producer in the electronic scene. From impressing the renowned Pablo Fierro (Spain), to impressing one of South Africa's biggest dance export, DJ Black Coffee. He has earned himself the title of being rated amongst the likes of Culoe De Song & Da Capo. With everybody anticipating his debut studio album, his classics have kept his brand on the S.A dance producer top 10 since 2009.

Quality over Quantity - That has always been his goal, he embodies it. His fans have grown to understand that, and that's just one of the reasons he's still rated amongst the best in South Africa.
