He first gained recognition in 2020 amidst the Covid-19 lockdown by creating renditions of local and international gospel tracks, which he posted on YouTube.
As the hit-maker of "Wahozeho” and "Wakinguye Ijuru,” among other songs, Ndasingwa promises attendees of his album launch an extraordinary experience filled with uplifting worship music and surprises that showcase his three-year musical journey.

In a previous interview with The New Times, Ndasingwa described himself as "a praise and worship leader, as well as a gospel songwriter.”
Born and raised in Nyamirambo to a Catholic family, he attended Catholic Church during his childhood but now worships at New Life Bible Church.
Ndasingwa, a teacher by profession with a diploma in social studies, is pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Theology and Christian Leadership at the Africa College of Theology (ACT).
He attributes his musical roots to his family, recalling their tradition of singing during morning devotions and his involvement in choirs from a young age.
"At the age of 17, I started to play guitar and piano,” Ndasingwa shared. "A friend taught me a little, but I also taught myself with the help of YouTube tutorials. Later, I began teaching others.”
He aims to utilise his musical talent to impact the community, particularly the youth, positively.
