Dr Mbuvi joined a group called His Image, who performed a cappella and various renditions of other artistes' works. We even modernised a Luo gospel folk song Niwara Nono. In 2001, he briefly teamed up with music producer R Kay and a friend to form Injili Group, which recorded Nisamehe – his first ever hit song.
