As a singer-songwriter, he is best recognized for his seminal 2000 release, 'Yawasa Zzike,' a 15-track collection that beautifully encapsulates the sonic tapestry of his homeland. Infusing elements of soukous, highlife, and afrobeat, the album is entirely sung in Luganda, offering listeners an authentic glimpse into the cultural narratives of Uganda.

His stylistic choices are appreciated for their contributions to the diversity of African music. The rhythmic intricacies and melodic layers found in 'Yawasa Zzike' highlight a musical journey deeply intertwined with the traditions of East Africa, making his work an enduring part of Uganda's artistic legacy.
