 Onesimus got his first big break in 2010 he released his first two singles: “Beautiful” featuring award-winning Malawian rapper Young Kay and “Without Your Love” which landed him his first record deal with the independent record company Nde’feyo Entertainment. 
 He toured Malawi with his label mates in 2011 building up his brand and fanbase. He dropped a R&B mixtape titled ‘BRB’ in 2012 and - in the same year - dropped his debut Afro-R&B album: “Ndele”. In this album he showed his diversity as he also sings in his mother-tongue - Chichewa. By this time he had already worked with several of Malawi's urban music icons and also did a song called “Musiye Ayende” with Zambia's musicians Dalisoul and Afunika. He made appearances on many line-ups at acclaimed music festivals in Malawi sharing stages with the continent's industry giants: Oliver Mtukudzi, Freshlyground, Salif Keita, Professor, AKA, Naeto C. By this time, Onesimus was a force to be reckoned with having bagged two nominations at the 2014 Inaugural Malawi Music Awards and took the leap, moving to South Africa to build a more global fanbase. 
 In South Africa, Onesimus signed with Muthaland Entertainment and released his critically acclaimed sophomore album titled Messenger. He will definitely take AfroPop music across African borders and beyond.
