Today we celebrate another year of life for rapper, singer, songwriter, and artistic director Heber Daniel de Moura Bomba, better known by his stage name K9. From his first steps in music, K9 demonstrated a unique talent that transcended the expectations of his teachers and peers. His ability to write poetry from the age of 10 was already a harbinger of the brilliant career that awaited him.
His musical training at the National School of Music and later at the Metropolitan Region School of Music, where he excelled at piano and singing, was just the beginning of a journey marked by dedication and passion for the art. In 2002, K9 decided to embrace hip-hop, joining his first group, "LEGIÃO VERMELHA," and soon after, "ESQUADRÃO DE ELITE," which featured rap icons such as Rage, Azagaia, and Scam. Later, he joined "9mm," under the leadership of Teknik, his stepbrother and a major influence on his career.
With impressive talent in both the underground and mainstream scenes, K9 saw his talent recognized in 2009 when he signed with the Dabo Boys Family. His song "Ninguém Me Abusa" was featured on Rádio Cidade, reaffirming his status as one of the best inspirational hook creators in hip-hop.
In 2010, K9 expanded his talent to artistic direction, working with rapper Rainha da Sucata and achieving a record number of awards at the 2012 Mozambique Music Awards (MMA). The success of the Dabo Boys' song "GAME" and his collaboration with renowned artists on projects with great social impact, such as the "Education for All" campaign and the "ANDAR FORA É MANINGUE ARRISCADO" project, highlight his commitment to social causes.
Currently, establishing himself in the HIT ZONE, K9 continues to influence the Mozambican music scene with his versatility and powerful messages. His plan to launch the artistic company "BLACK MULA" in 2017 is a testament to his continued vision and innovation in the world of audiovisual art.
K9, we wish you a birthday filled with joy, achievements, and even more success. May you continue to inspire us with your art and dedication, showing that with talent and perseverance, it's possible to transform lives and positively impact society.
Happy Birthday, K9! May your path always be illuminated and filled with music and inspiration.
