Gospel singer Victor Mbuvi, popularly known for his hit song ‘Kwata Kawaya’ ventured into music a year after his mother’s death in 1999.
Mbuvi’s late mother died from cancer. Before her death, she used to push her son into singing but Mbuvi had self doubt about being a musician.
Speaking during an interview with Word Is, the gospel singer opened up about how his mother’s death pushed him into being a musician.
“I started not because I was a musician but I think I loved music. My mum loved me so much and she was proud of me, and so after her death, I did a song, ‘Sweet Ndwale’, for her, which I later did a remix of with Emmy Kosgei,” said Mbuvi.
Adding that;
“The remix of that song was a dedication to my mum and a Kalenjin friend of mine, who also lost her mum, and so I decided to do it with the Kalenjin sound.”
Asked why he has not married yet, Mbuvi revealed that he was single by choice and that he would marry when the right time comes.
“I live interestingly and it is my desire, but when the right time comes, I will flow into it. Everyone’s path is different. I must have a family but I don’t know when,” said Mbuvi.
