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.

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.
