Ugandan gospel singer Bernard Feni, better known as Mungu Feni, has added another international honour to his growing career after winning Best Gospel Artist Content Creator of the Year at the 2026 Africa Content Creators Awards (ACCA) in Kigali, Rwanda.
The Mungu Feni Africa Content Creators Awards victory places the Arua-based musician among the continent’s recognised digital gospel creators, following a competition that featured nominees from Nigeria, Rwanda and Kenya.
His latest success also extends a remarkable run of accolades that has seen the singer receive recognition beyond Uganda’s borders.
The Africa Content Creators Awards celebrate outstanding digital creators and storytellers from across the continent through a process that combines public voting with expert evaluation.
Mungu Feni emerged victorious ahead of Nigeria’s Gaise Baba, Rwanda’s Chryso Ndasingwa and Meddy, as well as Kenya’s Bella Kombo in one of the ceremony’s competitive categories.
Following the announcement, the gospel singer used the moment to thank those who have supported his journey.
He dedicated the award to his fans and gave thanks to God for the achievement.
“This victory belongs to everyone who has believed in me, streamed my music, shared it, and voted for me. From Uganda to every corner of Africa, thank you for walking this journey with me. Above all, I give all the glory to God because none of this would be possible without Him,”
The award comes at a time when the Ugandan gospel singer continues to expand his audience through digital platforms rather than relying solely on traditional live performances.
According to the available information, Mungu Feni’s music is available on Spotify, YouTube, Audiomack, Boomplay, SoundCloud and Shazam.
His catalogue has accumulated more than three million streams across those platforms.
His music also receives airplay on Trace Gospel, Trace Mziki, Trace Naija, TBN Africa and Pearl Magic, helping him reach audiences beyond Uganda.
The ACCA recognition is not the singer’s first major award outside Uganda. Earlier in 2026, Mungu Feni was named Artist of the Year at Ghana’s Prestigious Personalities Awards.
He also received the Best New Star Gospel Artist award at the 2025/2026 Shining Stars Africa Awards.
Together, those honours point to a period of sustained recognition for the West Nile musician.
Born Bernard Feni, the Arua-based artist has steadily established himself as one of Uganda’s emerging gospel voices with an audience that extends across Africa through digital streaming and television broadcasts.
His latest achievement reinforces that growing continental reach. Away from recording, Mungu Feni is also involved in humanitarian work.
He operates the Mungu Feni Foundation, which, according to the available information, has received multiple awards for empowering young people and supporting vulnerable communities in Uganda’s West Nile region.
He also runs a business known as Euro Gold. The singer says both music and service remain central to his purpose.
“This inspires me to keep creating music that uplifts people and reminds them there is hope. My mission has always been to use both music and service to make a positive difference,”
His remarks suggest the latest continental recognition is not only an acknowledgement of his work as a gospel artist and content creator but also motivation to continue pursuing that mission.
While Mungu Feni has celebrated his latest continental award, several details about his future plans remain unknown.
No information has been released about upcoming music projects. There has also been no announcement regarding future concerts or tours following the ACCA victory.
The exact date of the 2026 Africa Content Creators Awards ceremony has not been disclosed in the available information.
It has also not been confirmed whether Mungu Feni performed during the event.
The Mungu Feni Africa Content Creators Awards win marks another milestone in the career of the Arua-based gospel singer, adding to a growing collection of regional and continental honours earned over the past two years.
With millions of streams across digital platforms, recognition from audiences across Africa and a continued commitment to community work through the Mungu Feni Foundation, the latest ACCA victory represents another significant chapter in Mungu Feni’s journey as one of Uganda’s emerging gospel artists.
