During those 13yrs, he got a Samaritan who helped him for one year at Kazo Primary (Nyabushozi, Mbarara District), due to some problems the Samaritan faced he was not able to proceed with studies.

He went back to Masaka as a street kid where he then came to Kampala Nakivubo streets selling soda and water in Old taxi park and Nakivubo stadium during matches and other events.

He was always an active member of his school’s soccer team.

After his high school, Kenzo got into the studio to hone his craft in 2007.He continued to develop both as a singer and songwriter by working with some of Uganda’s biggest Music personalities in the industry. Over the next few years his talent as a singer, songwriter and performer became evident after his breakthrough in 2008 with 'Yanimba' song featuring Mikie Wine.

2010 would prove to be Kenzo’s break-out year with his song 'Stamina (Kabuna mawanga)'. 'Stamina' drew major attention from music fans over his distinct voice, singing style, dances and penchant for great songwriting which even attracted the President of Uganda (Yoweri Museveni) to use it as his theme song during his presidential campaigns of 2011-2012.
