JOURNEY OF A STAR EPISODE 17 WITH : SINGLE DEE ON THE MAKING OF HIS HIT SONG “FOCUS.”

Single Dee — whose real name is Deng James — is a South Sudanese R&B and Afro-fusion artist known for his smooth vocals, emotional storytelling, and stylish, youthful image.
He’s often described as charismatic, humble, and passionate — an artist who uses his music not just to entertain, but also to inspire young people and promote peace in South Sudan. His songs often blend love themes with messages of hope, unity, and perseverance, reflecting both his personal journey and the struggles of his country.
Visually, Single Dee carries himself with a modern African urban style — clean-cut looks, fashionable streetwear, and confidence that reflects his international musical influences. On stage and in his videos, he projects a calm but powerful presence, combining gentle melodies with heartfelt emotion.
Musically, he’s best known for his hit song “Focus,” which became one of South Sudan’s most viral tracks, trending on TikTok and surpassing a million views on YouTube.
