Naseeb Abdul Juma (alizaliwa tarehe 2, October mwaka 1989) Anafahamika zaidi kwa jina lake la kisanii kama DIAMOND PLATNUMZ. Akiwa na umri mdogo wazazi wake walitengana na baba yake kumuacha bila msaada wowote na ikabidi wahamie Tandale Magharibi kwa bibi yake mzaa mama, na hapo ndipo yakawa makazi yao.. Historia yake ni ya kusikitisha kama alivyoelezea kwenye wimbo wa "binadamu wabaya", Bofya hapa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSDilTuo2Gg.
Elimu
Mnamo mwaka 1995 alianza kupata elimu ya Nursery katika shule ya Chakula Bora iliyopo Tandale Uzuri hadi alipomaliza na kujiunga na Elimu ya Msingi yaani (Primary School) mwaka 1996 katika shule ya msingi Tandale magharibi iliyopo jijin Dar-es-salaam. Ilipofika mwaka 2000 akiwa darasa la tano diamond alionekana kuanza kupenda sana muziki, hivyo alianza kucopy baadhi ya na kukrem nyimbo za wasanii waliokuwa wakihit ndani na nje ya nchi kwa kipindi hicho na kuwa anaimba katika sehem tofautitofauti.
Sanaa ya muziki na utoto
Mara nyingi mama yake alikuwa akimnunulia kanda za album za wasanii tofauti waliokuwa wakihit kipindi hicho na hata kumuandikia baadhi ya nyimbo za wasanii hao ili mwanae aweze kuzishika na kuimba kirahisi, na wakati mwingine hata kumpeleka katika matamasha tofautitofauti ya tallent show ili mwanae apate nafasi ya kuimba, kitu ambacho baadhi ya ndugu wa familia waliona ni kama kumpotosha na kumuharibu mtoto huyo badala ya kumuhimiza kimasomo. Kiukweli hali ya maisha yao ilikuwa ni ngumu saana, maana mama Diamond hakuwa hana source ya kumuingizia kipato, hivyo ilibidi atumie kias kidogo anachokipata toka kwa kodi ya vyumba viwili alivyopewa na Mama yake yaani bibi yake diamond na vibiashara vyake vidogovidogo vya mikopo kwa kumsomeshea na kumlea diamond, hakika hali yao ya Kimaisha ilikuwa ni ngumu sana, hivyo iliwaradhimu wote kuhamia katika chumba cha bibi huyo ili kupangisha vyumba vile viwili alivyopewa mama diamond…
Ugumu
Baada ya kuhitimu shule ya Msingi mwaka 2002 na kutaka kuanza masomo ya Secondary mwaka 2003 mama yake alimwambia aachane na Muziki kabisa na azingatie na Masomo ili aweze kupata elimu itayomsaidia hata kwa muziki wake baadae kwa maana asingeweza kushika vitu viwili kwa pamoja muda huo. Akiwa secondary diamond aliendelea kufanya muziki kisirisiri bila mama yake kujua na kufikia mwaka 2004 taratibu akaanza kujifunza kuandika nyimbo zake mwenyewe. Baada ya kuhitimu elimu yake ya Secondary mwaka 2006 mwaka 2007 alijikita rasmi katkia sughuri za muziki ili kujaribu kutimiza ndoto zake.
kiukweli haikuwa ni safari rahisi kama alivyotegemea hadi kupelekea time kuanza kutafuta vibarua toafauti tofauti ili mradi aweze kupata riziki na kuepuka hali ya kushinda nyumbani, ikiwemo kuuza mitumba, petrol station, kupiga picha, kupigisha simu, kazi za viwandani hata wakati mwingine kuingia kwenye makundi ya kucheza kamali za mitaani ili aweze kupata pesa ya kuingia studio kurecord lakini bila kufanikiwa, kiukweli ulikuwa ni wakati mgumu sana hadi ikamradhimu kuuza pete ya Dhahabu ambayo alipewa na mama yake mzazi aivae na kumdanganya kuwa ameipoteza na ndipo hapo alipofanikiwa kuingia studio kurecord nyimbo ya kwanza iitwayo toka mwanzo..
kutokana na kutokuwa na mazoea ya kurecord hakuweza kutengeneza nyimbo ambayo ni hit lakini wimbo ule ulianza kumpa conections tofauti tofauti maana wengi walishangazwa jinsi alivyoingia kwa mara ya kwanza studio na kuweza kutengeneza wimbo kama mtu ambae ni mzoefu, hivyo iliwafanya kuamini kuwa akipata nafasi ya kurecord mara kadhaa angeweza kufanya kitu kikubwa.. wimbo ule ulimfanya aweze kukutana na Chizo mapene ambae alijitolea kumsimamia, na kweli wakaanza kurecord album lakini bahati mbaya wakiwa katikati ya kurekodi album hiyo anayemsaidia alipata matatizo ya kifedha na hakuweza tena kumsaidia hivyo ilimbidi Diamond aanze tena upya kuzunguka katika studio tofauti kuomba kusigniwa kwenye record label lakini kote hakuweza kufanikiwa, wote walimwambia bado kuimba hajui na kuto kutaka kumsikiliza kabisa…kiukweli kilikuwa ni kipindi kigumu sana maana hata yule mpenzi wake ambae alikuwa nae alimuacha kwakua alikuwa ameshachoshwa na ndoto hewa ambazo alikuwa akiziota kila siku diamond kuwa ipo siku atafanikiwa kimuziki na kuwa mwanamuziki mkubwa na wao kuish maisha mazuri, kitu ambacho kilimchanganya na kumuumiza sana diamond hususan kwa kauli aliyomuambia ya “skiza Diamond mi kwa sasa siwezi kuwa na mwanaume ambaye hana maslahi kwangu” kutwa ilikuwa ikimpitia kwenye kichwa na kujiona kama mwenye mikosi.
