It has been three years since I released my first single and three years since graduating from Agahozo Shalom Youth Village, where it all began. I was very happy to perform on the same stage with young talents who have the same dreams I had during the time I was there,” Kizigenza said. The most exciting thing is that I was able to share my experience with the young people. At our early ages, we all have developing talents, but most of the time we don't have people to guide us, so it was really nice to chat with the students, he added.
