Rwandan singer Claude Mujyanama, popularly known as TMC from the iconic duo Dream Boyz alongside Platini P, has made it clear that he is not doing music as a profession anymore.

The US-based artiste recently released his latest track ‘Ese,’ after four years without dropping some music.

TMC’s return to the studio left his supporters excited, hoping to see him dropping more music consistently. They thought that he was back to the game. However, he said that he is only doing music ‘for fun.”

He admitted that his music career took a turn when he relocated to the United States in 2020, which marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

Despite stepping out of the music spotlight, TMC occasionally records songs out of passion and expects to share more such releases in the future though without any fixed schedule.

The singer, for instance, told The New Times that only passion he has for music drove him to drop a new song although he no longer considers music as profession.

"’Ese’ is just for fun, I no longer do music as a career,” TMC said.
