A Tumbuka singer-songwriter and pastor’s son, he started music young through church and school (Chaminade Secondary School). He began seriously pursuing it around 2018 after teaming up with producer Chawa Beats.
He broke through in 2022–2023 with hits like “Naji” and “Saza”, often singing in Tumbuka. Other notable tracks include “OBeBa” (with Namadingo), “Wane,” and his debut album Maluba (2025), which earned several award nominations.
Known for blending Afrobeat, dancehall, and local sounds with soulful storytelling, he is regarded as one of Malawi’s rising young talents with growing regional success.
