He bagged six awards at the Groove Awards this year. Daddy Owen’s consistency and creativity is admirable. He invented the musical genre Kapungala together with producer Dr Eddie. The single System ya Kapungala infused with its lingala and kapuka beats grabbed the nation’s attention and catapulted Owen to the national limelight. He then dropped Kiriro, a collabo with Kerah and Allan Aaron. The single was markedly different with reggae-themed beats and catchy hooks that became bigger than System ya Kapungala.
