WurlD first gained recognition for his distinctive vocal style that blends Afro-pop with R&B, building an international audience with projects like “Love Is Contagious.” His work often explores themes of love and connection through melodic hooks and smooth delivery. Marioo rose to prominence in the East African music scene with his Bongo Flava hits, with tracks like “Mi Amor” cementing his status as a regional star. His vocal versatility has led to collaborations with artists across the African continent, expanding his reach beyond Tanzania.
