It took a lot of energy and dedication, but throughout the process, I was deeply inspired by the word of God and the moments of connection I had with him during that period,” he told The New Times. Six tracks from the album have already been released at different times, while two others, ‘Ntijyibeshya’ and 'Haribyiringiro', are set to drop during the official album launch. Nkomezi described ‘Warandamiye’ as an album born out of prayer, reflection, and divine inspiration. “This album has been a journey of prayer, energy, and deep reflection. What makes it truly unique is the season I was in and the intimate moments I experienced with God throughout the process. Each song carries its own message, meaning, and melody all inspired by the presence of God. This project was born from his heart and created for his people,” he said.

In 2014, he took advanced piano lessons under his uncle, a classical pianist, who recognized his talent and encouraged him to pursue a solo career. His debut single, Sinzahwema, released in 2017, earned widespread acclaim and marked the beginning of his rise in Rwanda’s gospel music scene. Nkomezi dedicated the album to those going through challenging seasons—people who are hurting, waiting, or holding on to God’s promises. “I encourage everyone to listen with an open heart and use this album as a way to grow in intimacy with God. For those who are hurting, waiting, or trusting God for his promises, remember that he will reveal himself at the right time. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has supported and embraced this project with love, he said.
