ENTERTAINING, versatile and energetic are just some of the words one can use to describe rapper, writer, dancer, actor, producer and record executive at Dunndidit Entertainment, John Paul Dunn.
Dunn fondly known as Mr Dunndidit grew up in Mariannridge, a small township just outside Pinetown whose housing protests have regularly made national news headlines. The township is made up of flats and semi-detached houses.

Nevertheless, Mr Dunndidit did not allow his background and circumstances to prevent him from perusing his dreams.
He is a husband and a father to a five-year-old, who is currently signed to his own record label.
He has been in the forefront of entertainment since his early childhood as a dancer then going onto being a rapper.
The passionate artist signed his first recording deal with his rap group ‘YGB Young Gifted and Black’ in 2004 and went on to share the stage with artists like international star Tamia, the late Mandoza, TKZ and many more.
Through his record label he has crafted a sound that is infectious and distinctly his own. Although his debut Extended Play (EP) is an Amapiano offering, his skills are not limited to just one genre.

He recently released his debut three track EP titled Durban Yanos with features from Mayo, Senzo M and Sbu DBN is available on all major digital platforms.
