Despite his teaching career, Nyabinde always had a passion for music. He would often play as a solo guitarist for his students and at various functions. As he rose through the education ranks, he continued to perform as a guitarist, captivating audiences at school events and local venues.

In July 2021, Nyabinde faced health challenges when he suffered a stroke, affecting his left side. He also battled diabetes. However, he underwent physiotherapy and showed improvement by November 2021, despite the setbacks.

Fellow musicians organized a fundraising concert to support Nyabinde's medical expenses during this difficult time. The music community came together to show their support for the icon.

Nyabinde's music career truly took off while he was serving as a primary school head at R.J Davies Primary School. It was there that he recorded and released his debut album, "Pane Nyaya." The album featured his students in the video for the hit song "Chabuda Hapana."

It became a massive success, dominating sales from 2002 to 2004.
