Kilonzo released his first recording with Kilimambogo Brothers in 1975. The group split in 1978 when Joseph Mwania and Joseph Sila left to form another group, ''Original Kilimambogo Stars''. Kilonzo, however, continued releasing music with Kilimambogo Brothers.〔(Best of Kakai Vol. 1 - liner notes )〕 Originally, he performed in Kamba, his native language, but rose into national fame after releasing music in Swahili.〔Simon Broughton, Mark Ellingham, Richard Trillo, Orla Duane, Vanessa Dowell (World Music: The Rough Guide ) Rough Guides, 1999〕 Kilonzo died in 1987 due to illness.
