Kunguru came into the limelight in the early 2000s and was among Ogopa Deejays most successful musicians.

The deceased singer was among the few talents that were retained by Ogopa Deejays when they terminated the contracts of most of their signees back then.

Kunguru is well remembered for his all time hit ‘Baby Don’t Go’, a collabo with Mr. Lenny.
