Media personality Willis Raburu is exploring the possibility of going back to music after exiting Citizen TV.
Speaking during his appearance in an interview with Phil Director, Raburu noted that his career has always included music in some way until he decided to release his first single dubbed ‘Kalale’ in 2021.
Willis says at the time, the song that features singers Rekless Breeder LW, Mejja and Ssaru was aimed at igniting Gengetone.
“Gengetone was getting bad breath and at that time my goal was to ignite the industry. So Breeder was my first choice because he had mentioned me in one of his lyrics(10/10 ishaifungwa kama Willis), for Mejja I love his music and I needed someone who has some longevity in the game. Rekless was a top artiste then and I needed a female who could spit so I chose Ssaru and put them together. People kept hating but music lovers kept listening until we hit 8M views,” he explained.
Raburu says he has several songs that he is yet to release with various artistes including Khaligraph Jones, Masauti, and Okello Max among others.
“Since then I have recorded several songs and now that I have some time on my hands maybe I should start releasing them,” he added.
Raburu’s original claim to fame was his long-time work with Royal Media on multiple shows before finally exiting after 13 years of service.

Willis Raburu will also be releasing his new book titled ‘Undefined’, a title which he says resulted from him doing several things. The book is available for pre-order.
He is also pursuing a Master’s Degree in Strategic Communication and Communication for Development at USIU.
