Israel Mbonyi- I hated my experience studying pharmacy

He says testimonies from people whose lives have been changed by his songs keep him going.

Mbonyi has revealed that his mega-hit song -Nina Siri which introduced him to the whole of East Africa was a dream.

Speaking at a presser after landing in Nairobi, Mbonyi narrated that the song came to him through a dream before he wrote it down.

He also mentioned that he writes all his Swahili songs with the help of his team. 

Israel added that the dream for the song came to him twice before he decided to compose it.

“On April 18th I had a dream of someone singing ‘Nina siri, the voice also said ‘Waambie wanao lia’ and that is when I knew it was a lyric song for me and would make a good song. My team helps me write Swahili songs. I speak Congolese Swahili which is not fluent .” he revealed 

Mbonyi gave a reason for his success as being available to God and accepting His calling which makes it easy for Him to use you.

The gospel minister also opened up on a possible collaboration with Kenyan gospel artists – even though he has never interacted with any of them before.

He clearly stated that he cannot collaborate with secular artists as he only sings about Jesus.
