In 2006, his single 'Chochote, Popote' cemented his reputation and became a massive hit throughout Tanzania. JohMakini's debut album, 'Zamu Yangu,' was released in late 2006. 'Chochote, popote,' 'Hao,' 'Tomorrow,' and 'Kama Kawa' were among the album's hits. This was followed by a string of hit singles such as 'Ufalme,' 'Muda,' 'Kila Wakati,' 'Niaje, ni vipi,' and 'Stimu zimelipiwa'.
To date, his new single 'Don't Bother' featuring AKA has become a national hit and has received widespread radio and television airplay throughout Africa.
