Rose Muhando’s Achievements and Background

Rose Muhando is a prominent figure in East and Central African gospel music. She was born on July 29, 1976, in Kilosa, Morogoro, Tanzania. She is a singer, songwriter, and gospel performer, often referred to as the Queen of Gospel in East and Central Africa for her timeless hits.

Some of her popular songs include: Yesu Nakupenda, Nibebe, Utamu Wa Yesu, Ndivyo Ulivyo, Hatumo, Wololo, Street Agenda, and Nipe Number. She began her music career as an independent artist in 2004 with her first album Uwe Macho, selling over a million copies in East Africa.

Subsequent albums like Kitimutimu (2005) and Jipange Sawa Sawa (2008) established her international reputation. In 2012, she signed with Sony Music, becoming the first gospel artist from East and Central Africa to do so, which enabled her to perform in countries including Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, DR Congo, South Africa, Malawi, and Senegal.

After enduring personal challenges, including mental health struggles due to mistreatment in the music industry, she returned stronger with popular songs such as Yesu Karibu Kwangu (2019), Miamba Imepasuka (2020), Secret Agenda (2022), and her EP Amefanya (2024).

In 2025, she received the Icon Award from the Tanzania Gospel Music Awards for her significant contributions, also nominated in categories like Album of the Year and Best Female Gospel Artist of the Year. She is recognized as the best-selling gospel artist in East and Central African history, with over 20 million copies sold.

Rose Muhando, a former devout Muslim, converted to Christianity at the age of 9 after witnessing the healing of Jesus Christ during a three-year illness.

Rose Muhando expected in Rwanda

Rose Muhando once shared the stage in Rwanda with Theo Bosebabireba, especially during evangelistic events held in Bugesera and Nyagatare. In one of these events, she surprised Theo by coming onto the stage to sing with him in Kinyarwanda, a moment that was particularly special for the Rwandan artist.
