About Patience Namadingo

Patience Namadingo now known as Dr Namadingo, is a Malawian renowned soul/r&b, Afrobeat, Afro Soul, gospel singer and songwriter from Malawi, born on May 28th, 1990. Patience is the first born in a family of three and hails from Kapalamula Village, T/A Nsamala in Balaka district.

Later, they moved back to Lilongwe where he attended Chipasula Secondary School for his secondary education.

He formed a group of six boys called the Salvation Zone, which helped him develop his passion for music.

Patience’s music career had a humble beginning, and his first album Goseni, which was released in 2007, did not do well in the market. However, he did not give up and continued practicing and composing until he learned the basics of playing the piano in 2009-2010. His faith in the Lord Jesus Christ has always played a vital role in his compositions.

In 2010, he released his second album Tiri ndi Yesu, which had the chart-topping song Mtendere, making it one of the best-selling gospel albums between 2010-2012. Patience’s music has always been centered on his faith, and his compositions have a spiritual feel to them.
