Douglas Munyendo’s affinity for music started during his childhood when he saw people on television and in church sing and dance. At first he developed interest in dancing since he couldn’t hear the sound of the music.

You see, twenty-four-year old Munyendo is deaf.  He was born with hearing ability but an illness left him deaf.
