Shadooh The Music Biography: The Story Behind “Siri Ya Ndani” Hitmaker
Today, we take a moment to remember one of the artists who once delivered powerful hit songs but later disappeared from the spotlight.
Shadooh is definitely not a new name in Tanzania’s entertainment industry, especially within the Bongo Flava scene. His real name is Shedrack Joseph, though fans know him professionally as Shadooh The Music. What many people may not know is that he hails from Bukoba Region, Tanzania.[ads id="ads1"]
In one of his past interviews, Shadooh revealed that his love for music was inspired by his father. His dad was also a musician in the old-school band music era, and that influence played a major role in shaping Shadooh’s journey into Bongo Flava.

Over the years, he released several songs, but the tracks that truly introduced him to a wider audience and gained massive popularity were “Big Mama” and “Siri Ya Ndani.”
“Siri Ya Ndani,” released in 2012, remains one of his most memorable works. The song was produced by C9 at Kiri Records Studio. Shadooh didn’t stop at just the audio — he also delivered a music video directed by Abas Adam, who ensured the visuals matched the quality and emotion of the song. If you watch the “Siri Ya Ndani” music video, you’ll notice Lulu Diva appearing as the video vixen alongside Shadooh. [ads id="ads2"]
So, where is Shadooh today? That’s the question many fans continue to ask. He has gone quiet not only in music but also across social media platforms. However, the good news is that his songs are still available and continue to live on as memories for fans who supported him from the early days of his Bongo Flava career.
His name remains: Shadooh The Music.
Song LYRICS:
"Hivyo hivyo ntakuwa nae, Hivyo hivyo ntaishi nae, Hivyo hivyo Ntadumu nae
Hata kama watamsimanga, (Hey) watapaka (Hey), watachonga, Mi sijali"
"Siri ya ndani naijua mi, Upendo wa kweli ni moyoni, achana nao wafitini
Ndio maana nakuimbia we"
