Christopher promises action-packed 2015

Christopher Muneza came to fame after the release of his debut album Habona. He followed it up with collabos with some of the famous musicians in the country such as, Tom Close, Dream Boys and Knowless, among others. He was also the youngest contestant in the third season of Primus Guma Guma Superstar, an annual Rwanda reality singing competition show sponsored by Bralirwa’s Primus lager. At only 19 years of age, the singer fondly known as Christopher to fans, has already made a name on the music scene. The R&R singer told The New Times, that he has been doing much behind closed doors since his February 2014 album launch and he is ready to roll out in the near future. “My first album launch was very successful because I took enough time to work on it, and I want to do the same for my second album. Sometimes it is better to go slow than to rush,” said Christopher. Christopher seeks to perfect his music, which he says is his way of making a living. He has been recording new songs with the Kicukiro-based Kina Music Record, and shooting his music videos in different locations of the country. Though he began doing music professionally in mid-2009, Christopher has had interest in music for as long as he can remember. The singer is currently working with his management team to promote his songs abroad, in order to expand the market of his music. “I am seeking first to improve the quality of my music, alongside mixing languages, because I want to be an international artist,” said Christopher, before adding that, “In Rwanda, people know what I do, but I want to go beyond my country and reach out to all Africans.” He said the reason he is targeting the regional and international markets is because the environment in Rwanda is not conducive enough for the music to grow as a business. He also admits that the music industry in the country is still growing and it requires artistes to grow with the industry. “The police often order us to close our concerts halfway through the night, which offends our fans and discourages them from attending future concerts. If the government encourages businesses to work 24 hours per day, why is this not applied to music business?” the singer lamented. Christopher is finalising his latest song Urubavu, which he intends to release this month. He is also working on his Valentine’s Day concert that will be held at Kigali Serena hotel. “I would like to alert lovers in Kigali to get ready for a romantic evening at Kigali Serena Hotel on February 14. I’m taking my time to organise this concert and I promise that it will be memorable. So you shouldn’t miss it,” he added.
