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.
