Talking to The New Times, Danny Vumbi shared that he was inspired by the idea of representing transformative values through music. “To me values are what represent someone’s personality and the good things they do day to day. That behavior that builds up to who you are physically and psychologically is what I mean by transformative values,” he said. He noted that his fans who have been longing to see him back with new music are in for another treat with good music like he used to in the previous years. “I don’t focus on the future only but I promise them that Danny Vumbi they have missed is about to be back,” he added.

The ‘Ni Danger’ hit maker is not just a singer but a good music composer who wrote hit songs like ‘Try Me’, ‘Ntibisanzwe’, ‘Active Love’, ‘Kundunduro’ and ‘Ntakibazo’ among others.
