He quickly made a name for himself, releasing hit songs like “Sugua” featuring Diamond Platnumz, “Juu” with Vanessa Mdee, and “Regina” alongside Otile Brown.

Jux has earned numerous accolades throughout his career. He claimed the ‘Best R&B Song’ award at the Kili Music Awards in 2015 and won the Best East African Music Video award at the Zanzibar International Film Festival in 2017.

In 2019, he graced the stage at Coke Studio Africa, further solidifying his influence in the music scene.

Juma Jux music has occasionally sparked controversy, like when his 2018 hit “Uzuri Wako” was banned by the Tanzanian Communications Regulatory Authority for being deemed “immoral.” Despite this, he released his debut album The Love Album in 2019, featuring collaborations with Singah, Diamond Platnumz, and Vanessa Mdee. His second album, King of Hearts, followed in 2022, with appearances from Zuchu, Marioo, Mbosso, Terri, and Bien.

In 2023, Jux once again made waves with his collaboration with Diamond Platnumz on the track “Enjoy,” blending Bongo Flava and Amapiano. While the song received mixed reviews and was removed due to a copyright issue, Jux’s impact on Tanzanian music remained undeniable.
