My stint with Christ Melodies helped me learn a lot and made it easier for me to advance in my solo career and I actually learnt a lot in terms of production,\u201d said Khwiliro, who comes from a family of musicians.<\/p>\n<p>He has taken close to over two years since he released his debut album titled <em>Nthawi Yanga. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The gospel singer has recorded the 13-track album in several studios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have worked with several producers and the idea was to bring out the best but also something different. I looked at all my songs and I had to involve different producers as regards the genres they are good at,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Khwiliro said his first album did well on the market and that it is still selling.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the songs in Ndawona Kuwala are \u2018Alinawo Maso,\u2019 which is currently enjoying airplay in some of the local radio stations, \u2018Wandiwolosa,\u2019 \u2018Igwe,\u2019 \u2018Ndife Agonjesi,\u2019 and \u2018Mzimu Wanga,\u2019 a worship song which he featured Limbani Simenti.<\/p>\n<p>Khwiliro has already produced four music videos for some of the songs in the new album and they include \u2018Alinawo Maso,\u2019 \u2018Igwe,\u2019 \u2018Ndaona Kuwala,\u2019 and \u2018Mmene Tinkayamba Chikhristu.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am only launching an audio for now but after the launch I will finalise the music videos and hope to launch the DVD next year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the producers he has worked with include Amos Mlolowa of Active A Studio, who also produced albums for Lucius Banda and Black Missionaries, Dick Kankhunda, Alex and Obed Chitheka and Gaffa.<\/p>\n<p>He has also worked with session artists Faith Mussa, Mvahiwa Hanke and Chambota Chirwa.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the artists spicing up Khwiliro\u2019s launch are Simenti, Favoured Martha, Steve Wazisomo Muliya, Marvellous Deeds, Ndirande Anglican Voices, King James Phiri and Princess Chitsulo.
