Kenzo continued releasing new music in 2012.[18] In 2013, he held his first concert at the Kyadondo Rugby Club that year in support of the track, "Kamunguluze".[19] Kenzo's first major international breakthrough came with 2014's "Sitya Loss" and the accompanying album of the same name. A YouTube video featuring a group of Ugandan children known as the Ghetto Kids dancing to the song went viral after it was shared on social media by record executive Sean Combs in September 2014. As of March 2022 the video has accumulated nearly 42 million views on YouTube. Kenzo also started a petition to earn the children an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.[14][20][21] After the release of "Sitya Loss" and the album of the same name, Kenzo went on a brief United States tour with dancehall musician, DeMarco.[22]

In July 2017, Kenzo went on a European tour ahead of the release of his third studio album, Biology, a month later. The album featured guest appearances from artists like Mani Martin, Werrason, and Mi Casa, among others.[41] It also featured the single "Jubilation", which had an accompanying music video that won the Best East African Music Video Award at the Zanzibar International Film Festival.[42] He would go on to win two awards at that year's All Africa Music Awards, including Best East African Male Artist.[43] He would later donate that award along with his 2015 BET Award to the Uganda Museum in Kampala.[40]

In March 2018, Kenzo won a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award as the "Favorite African Star."[44] In July 2018, he performed alongside Triplets Ghetto Kids at multiple African music festivals in Canada, including Afrofest in Toronto. He also performed at the One Africa Music Festival in Dubai later in the year.[45] In October 2018, he released his fourth studio album, Roots, which featured the single "Body Language".[46] Kenzo also announced a 10-year anniversary concert in celebration of his time as a musical artist.[47] The concert took place on 4 January 2019 in the Victoria ballroom of the Serena Hotel in Kampala.[48] Leading up to the concert, Kenzo released a new music video for a song from Roots each week for two months.[49]

In March 2019, it was announced that Kenzo would be featured alongside Triplets Ghetto Kids in an upcoming music video for American singer Chris Brown's "Back to Love".[50] In April 2019, Kenzo released the single, "Signal" with an accompanying music video.[17]

On a hot streak Eddy Kenzo followed up with the 2021 studio album "Made in Africa" featuring some of the hottest producers including Hunter Nation[51] from Tanzania for the hit love song "SoulMate". The album went on to do amazing numbers with fans and supporters grateful for the new music.[52]

In 2022, Kenzo collaborated with US musician Matt B on Gimme Love. The song entered the Billboard US Afrobeats Songs at #49 in October and Peaked at #36 in November that year.[53][54] He and Matt B received a nomination for the song for Grammy Award for Best Global Music Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. The nomination made Kenzo the first Ugandan musician working and living in Uganda to receive the first ever Grammy nomination.[55]

In January 4, 2019, Eddy Kenzo commemorated his 10-year anniversary in the Ugandan music industry with a concert titled "10 Years of Eddy Kenzo." Notably, the event aimed to foster unity between two of Uganda's prominent musicians and political figures, Bobi Wine and Bebe Cool, who have had a longstanding feud.[62][63]

At the start of 2014, the fact that Eddy Kenzo had barely managed to stay relevant was not entirely his fault. The music industry had been partitioned between Moses Sali, alias Bebe Cool; Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, and Joseph Mayajna, alias Chameleone. Goodlyfe or Mowzey Radio [Moses Nakintije Ssekibogo] and Weasel [Douglas Mayanja] claimed the crumbs that remained.

From that humble beginning, Kenzo has become the first Uganda-based singer to earn Grammy consideration. His recording, Gimme Love, was nominated this month for a Grammy award for best international music performance. Kenzo shares the nomination with co-performer American Matt B.

Being considered for a Grammy Award is a significant milestone for any artist, as it represents recognition from industry professionals and peers however the the achievement not only benefits the two artists but rather the East African music industry as a whole.
