Day By Day is girl-group in the true sense. It did not start like most girl-bands, with a TV show and
a record company behind it; with scores of auditions. It just started at a playground where the sisters Nongoma (18), Thembi
(15) and Nandi (13) Ndlovu began together with their friends from the neighbourhood started to sing and dance. The real turning
point actually took place back in Summer 2000, when the girls were involved in a Warner Music production of a Hip-Hop group
called 'Doppelgänger' where they sang in a children's choir. It was not long after that, that the girls started their own
band: Day By Day! What is so special about Day By Day is that these girls do not just imitate what they hear radio or see
on TV. The lyrics and compositions result from their own fantasy and the impression reflects such real-life experience of
a youth. Their songs talk about their experience, day by day at school and in the streets. Expressing wishes and hopes of
a better world from a young mind's point of view. Their first concert was on 17.06.01 commemorating "The day of the African
child" in Dynamo Zurich, a concert organised by the South African Embassy and AAB (former Anti-Apartheid Movement of Switzerland.
The audience raved and the C
children won their hearts. Day By Day's first CD was recorded at Tonquelle Recording Studios, Zurich in 2003. The CD was produced
by Themba Ndlovu, the father of the three sisters, together with Douane Sene who is also a sound engineer and a musician.
The project was executive produced by Patrick Polana of TQ Productions. Summer of 2004, they shot the video clip of their
2nd single "Welcome" with KC Wong Productions. They then shot their third video-clip of the song "Urbanite" in summer 2005,
also with KC Wong in Zurich. This was Nongoma's first stint at the driver's sit. She was involved in the recording of the
clip of the song "Urbanite", but was more poignant in the sound recording. The song recorded at the Lalela Music Studio and
was co-produced by their dad, Themba Ndlovu. Their latest offering is still in the oven and will be recorded in South Africa
where the girls are now based.
