Bwenieve Records is a Kenyan based record label company founded by record producer Agundabweni Akweyu and his wife Evelyn Wanjiru, a Kenyan gospel musician, on May 5, 2010. The label has produced hit songs for musicians such as Evelyn Wanjiru herself, Gloria Muliro, Emmy Kosgei,^[1] Kambua, Tumaini,^[2] Martha Mwaipaja^[2].

History

Bwenieve Records was founded when record producer Agundabweni Akweyu, currently working for a human resources firm, discovered Evelyn Wanjiru, who couldn't source a good, affordable producer to record her music. Agundabweni decided to study music production online through YouTube tutorials so that he could record Evelyn himself. It took him a few months to understand recording, on May 5, 2010 record producer Agundabweni had resigned from his job and, with the little money he had, teamed up with Evelyn to start Bwenieve records. Between 2010 and 2013, Bwenieve produced "Mazingira",^[3] "Waweza", and "Mungu Mkuu", songs for Evelyn that did very well and got a lot of radio and TV air play. The success of the two songs was good for Bwenieve Records, and more upcoming musicians gained confidence in the label. Songs like "Mungu yu mwema"^[4] by Praise Makena, "Kiwango"^[5] by Meisi Tamar and "Angalia Baba" by Rosemary Njagi were among the first few songs produced from Bwenieve during that period.

In 2014, Bwenieve records relocated to Nairobi and produced "Tulia", a collaboration between Vicky Kitonga and Wanjiru. In 2015, Tulia won a Groove Award in the Collaboration of the Year category. This resulted in a massive turn around in the Kenyan gospel scene, drawing many upcoming and established musicians to aspire to work with Bwenieve Records. Since then Bwenieve has produced songs for famous artists like Emmy Kosgei, Gloria Muliro, Kambua, Tumaini and more.
