Rwandese singer Isacco talks music industry challenges in his new project
Rwandese singer Murwanashyaka Nzabonimana, popularly known as Isacco, has released his newest single, “On S’amuse,” meaning “we are having fun.”
Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Julien Bmjizzo, the music video is not only a sonic delight but also a visual feast, adding an extra layer of depth to the song.
Isacco revealed that he spared no expense in the creation of the music video, investing over Sh2 million to ensure top-notch quality.
“Honestly, the music video expenses were substantial. Flying Julien to France and covering all his costs, especially given his experience with top artists like Diamond Platnumz, was a significant investment,” the star said.
Breaking down the costs further, Isacco explained:
“Securing models for the shoot, renting the filming location, and managing the entire crew also added to the high costs. Despite my initial budget of Sh900,000 unforeseen events led to a total expenditure of Sh2 million.

Speaking about the challenges he faced in his career, Isacco offers words of encouragement to aspiring artists, saying:
