Israel Mbonyi in 2017 when he prepared his “‘Ntacyo nzaba live concert”, he announced that for him it will be an honor and a blessing to be able to do a concert with Adrien who met in 2014 when he called him and threw him a smile after he had released his first song. I remember it like it happened yesterday.
He said “I was in India at the time, releasing my first single ‘Number One’…Adrien Misigaro was the first artist who called me and told me to keep going, he inspired me…”
He added, “It was only 2 days ago that I released the song ‘Number’ one. I was very happy because Adrien was an artist at that time who had reached a great distance in the art. I also knew, I am blessed and he called me, encouraged me, and told me that the song has a good message. , asking me not to give up. I felt blessed because I was just starting out and didn’t know if people would know or listen to that song…”
Israel Mbonyi went on to say that as an artist who was just starting out, he needed people to support him, to help him understand that art is something he will be able to do because often when you see people who give you ‘courage’, as an artist it helps a lot.
He said, “Besides the artist Adrien Misigaro, who was the first to call me, there are other people who are close to me, who inspire me, and I believe that my continued art would help the hearts of many… When you start, you need people like that, that’s why I remember the role Adrien played, now that we are friends and even take it as a brother.”
After Adrien helped him to understand himself as an artist, Israel Mbonyi became a stable artist, who has a place in the hearts of many Rwandans who love the word of God through songs.
This was evident in the first concert Mbonyi did to release his first album, which was held at the Serena Hotel in Kigali, on the night of August 30, 2015, and was attended by people who were curious about him. to enter even though they had money but they were turned away by the fact that the room where the show was held was full.
