Biography

Azmarino (Khaled Abdulwahab) met Momo (Mohammed Komba) in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray in 2001 at a hip-hop clinic for school students held at a community art centre,[3] hosted by Joelistics from TZU. Azmarino was born in Eritrea and Momo was born in the Comoros Islands.[3] Joelistics suggested the pair work together, so they formed Diafrix.[1]

Diafrix has opened for such acts as Bliss n Eso,[4] as well as international acts such as Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Their song "Running It" was adopted as the official theme tune for the Western Bulldogs for 2013.[5] Their music has been referred to as "anthemic" for the multicultural area they grew up in.[6]

Specific influences on their music are diverse, ranging from Nas to Bob Marley to Fat Freddy’s Drop.[1]
