Bernard Feni a.k.a Mungu Feni, a Ugandan artist and philanthropist, has been named the Artist of the Year at the Prestigious Personalities Awards 2026.
The awards, powered by Feleb Concepts Multimedia, recognised Mungu Feni’s outstanding excellence, remarkable achievements, dedication, leadership, and impactful contributions.
Your hard work, consistency, influence, and commitment to excellence have distinguished you as a worthy recipient of the Prestigious Personalities Awards under the distinguished platform of Feleb Concepts Multimedia (World Credibility Office).
The organisers noted that the award stands as a symbol of appreciation and recognition for his extraordinary accomplishments and unwavering pursuit of greatness.
In his remarks, Mungu Feni thanked his fans and dedicated the award to them:
To all my fans around the world, this award belongs to you as much as it belongs to me. Winning International Artist of the Year is a dream come true, and I am deeply grateful for your endless love, support, and belief in my journey.
Every stream, every share, every ticket purchased, every message of encouragement, and every prayer has helped make this moment possible. You have stood by me through every challenge and celebrated every victory with me.
The artist recently won the Best New Star Gospel Artist award at the Shining Stars Africa Awards 2025/2026, held in Rwanda.
Having spent just three years in the music industry, Feni’s victory on one of Africa’s leading platforms that recognises excellence in the creative and entertainment sector highlights his growing influence, versatility, and creativity.
Over the past few years, Mungu Feni has released several music projects that have gained international reach and are available on major streaming platforms worldwide.
His music continues to perform impressively on platforms such as Shazam, YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, Audiomack, Boomplay, Tubidy, and Song Boost in Uganda, where he consistently ranks among the top gospel artists, with more than 3 million streams across.
With a rapidly growing fan base beyond Uganda, the West Nile–born singer from Arua is sometimes mistaken for a West African artist due to the wide international appeal of his music.
Notably, Feni is among the first Ugandan artists to receive and win an international award despite not yet staging a major public concert or performance, a rare achievement that underscores the power of digital music distribution and his expanding global audience.
Known for his soul-stirring gospel music, Mungu Feni is also a savvy entrepreneur and the founder of Euro Gold. He balances faith, family, and business with admirable dedication.
Beyond music, the artist is also involved in community transformation. Through the Mungu Feni Foundation, a non-governmental organisation based in West Nile, he has received regional recognition for community development initiatives.
The foundation was named Best Community Transformation Organisation in East Africa at the East Africa Brand Quality Awards, highlighting its growing influence beyond national borders.
