With four albums to his name – ‘Umusirikare’, ‘Mbwira’, ‘Hari Ubuzima (Live)’, ‘Intashyo’, and ‘Number One’ – Mbonyi’s discography reflects his profound impact on gospel music.
Most of his early musical releases were in his native language, Kinyarwanda. However, in 2023, he expanded his reach by venturing into singing in Swahili.
His first Swahili release, ‘Nina Siri’, debuted on June 26, 2023, and quickly became a hit, introducing Mbonyi to a wider Swahili-speaking audience in Tanzania and Kenya. This song was pivotal in propelling him to regional fame.
Beyond his music, the 32-year-old artist is also known for hosting the “Icyambu Live Concert”, an annual event that brings together people of all ages to celebrate the year’s ups and downs with joy and reflection through gospel music.
