Goldmax and Que were born in KwaMashu, the second biggest township in Durban. They established themselves by jamming to their own gqom and house sets at local taverns and shisa nyama's in and around KwaMashu. Having run into each other a lot and appreciated each other's playing styles at these kinds of local gigs, they then decided to merge their skills and form Distruction Boyz.
Distruction Boyz released their breakout single titled "Omunye" which features Benny Maverick & Dladla Mshunqisi. The song was certified gold by the Recording Industry of South Africa. The duo then released their debut studio album titled, Gqom Is The Future on October 20, 2017, which was certified gold by RiSA on December 18, 2017. At the 2018 Dstv Mzansi Viewers Choice Awards the duo was nominated for Favourite Music Artist/Group. On November 1, 2019, they released a single "Nevermind" featuring Zhao. In 2023, Distruction Boyz announced a temporary split to briefly focus on and hone their solo careers.
