Rwandan Star Deejay Pius Emotionally Remembers the Late Mowzey Radio: “He Was More Than a Friend to Me”

Rwandan artist and celebrated music producer Deejay Pius has opened up about the deep personal connection he shared with the late Ugandan music legend Mowzey Radio, revealing how the Goodlyfe star greatly inspired and shaped his career. In an emotional interview on The Deep Talk with Mr Henrie, Pius spoke from the heart, sharing memories of friendship, mentorship, and creativity that blossomed between the two artists during their time together. > “**Radio was very special to me, he inspired me. He used to tell me, ‘You aren’t slow like other Rwandans,’” Pius recalled with a smile. “That may sound small, but it meant a lot. He motivated me a lot through music, and he actually wrote many songs for me. Sadly, after he passed, I never followed up on those.” Their bond grew stronger after they worked together on the hit song “Agatako”, a collaboration that included Jose Chameleone and the Goodlyfe Crew. The song not only became a regional sensation but also marked the beginning of a tight-knit friendship that saw Pius spend extended periods in Uganda, performing alongside Radio and Weasel. > “That time in my life remains one of the most influential periods of my career,” he shared. “I learned a lot from them—not just musically, but in life.” But nothing prepared him for the heartbreaking news of Radio’s passing in 2018. > “The news of his accident found me in Rwanda. At first, I thought it was something minor and that he would recover. I was even planning to come to Uganda the next week,” Pius said, his voice trembling slightly. “But then came the devastating news that he had passed away. It was shocking. Even now, it’s still difficult for me to fully come to terms with it.” Mowzey Radio, known for his angelic voice, poetic songwriting, and creative genius, left an irreplaceable mark on East African music. For Pius, however, his loss was more than just the departure of a music icon—it was the loss of a brother. Despite the pain, Deejay Pius says he remains grateful for the time he had with Radio and hopes to honor his legacy by continuing to make music that uplifts and connects people—just like Radio taught him to.
