Afterward, he took trainings ranging from vocal trainings to sound from the Tourism Office in Tigray, the National Theatre and Selam Ethiopia before joining the Red Cross band and eventually the Tigray Cultural Band.

With a decade-long tenure in the Tigray Group and as a full time-musician who sings in Amharic, Somali, Konso, Afarigna and Afaan Oromoo, Kiros has performed all over Ethiopia at events like HIV Day and celebrations of nations and nationalities. He also performs at weddings, concerts, and nightclubs.

Kiros has made significant contributions to the music scene with singles like ‘’Nekele libey,’’ ‘’Su – Bel’’ and “Merhaba.” He has also showcased his talent on various platforms, including nightclubs.

Kiros has now released his new single ‘’Nafkot”. The song, recorded live in 2021 G.C, explores themes of homesickness and the diaspora’s longing for home.
