His Music Journey

In 2012, his song I’m in Love was so popular that it led to the creation of a Best Diaspora Artist category at the Salax Music Awards in Rwanda, making him the first-ever winner.

He has worked with artists like Diamond Platnumz (Why, directed by Julien Bmjizzo) and Detroit-based rapper Mike-E Ellison (Turikumwe), which even got him a performance invite at the UN headquarters.
