Most viewers will know Paul Munanjala by his moniker of Paul Da’Prince. He rose to fame in 2007 when he participated in a singing competition on a Zambian television show Teen Star, where he came in second place.
In 2009, he released his first single ‘Number One’, and has since released various other singles, including an album which he titled 812. A music video to Ruff kid’s song “Boss Lady” featuring Paul Da’ Prince was done in 2010 and was aired on MTV Base.
