Haijalishi, Daddy Owen’s debut album, was released in 2004. In addition to “Mbona,” which he co-wrote with Denno, “Foundation,” “Tobina,” “Kazi ya Msalaba,” “Saluti,” and “System ya Kapungala” are some of his best-known songs.
He currently participates in praise and worship at Kenya Assemblies of God in Nairobi. Saluti, System ya Kapungala, Son of Man, and Haijaisha are among the four albums that Daddy Owen has released. From 2009 to 2011, he was named the male artist of the year by the Groove Awards. Three categories for his song “Saluti” were nominated for Groove Awards, and it ultimately won all three. Mwatia becomes well-known in Lingala music.
