The song gained immense popularity among women, followed by his Lusoga hit "Biweewo," which conveyed a message about overcoming life's hardships through prayer to strengthen a relationship. "Biweewo" is widely regarded as one of the most heartwarming Zouk and Lusoga tracks of that time.
In January 2012, Maro left Westend Entertainment and released a memorable collaboration titled "Baibe," featuring Mya from the renowned women's singing group Blu*3. This song propelled him to greater fame, leading him to establish his own record label, Vocal Police Entertainment, in the same month.

During this time, he embarked on his first concert, "THE MARO LIVE CONCERT," which took place on September 14 at the Freedom City rooftop, followed by another performance in Jinja at the Crested Crane Hotel.
The year 2013 proved to be remarkable for Maro. He received a nomination at the Buzz Teen's Awards and, following his successful concert, won the Best Collaboration of the Year award at the inaugural Club Music Video Awards on September 20, 2013, for his song "Why" featuring Gravity.
As the year approached its end, Maro released another single, "Risingstar," showcasing his journey with clips of awards he had won and concerts he had performed at over the years. This release was meant to inspire aspiring artists and was featured by the esteemed Top Ten Naija Blog for several weeks.
Maro's talent and success were further recognized as he was named Artist of the Year twice, in 2013 and 2014, at the Eastern High School Awards.
Following his successful main concert, Maro, the "RnB Kyabazinga," returned to his hometown and performed at the Crested Crane Hotel gardens once again, attracting an even larger crowd compared to the previous year.
In 2015, Maro started the year by completing his studies and graduating from Makerere University Kampala on January 21, with a bachelor's degree in Development Studies. Shortly after, he released his first single and music video of the year, "Emberazo" (Your Ways). The song aimed to educate people about treating others with the same kindness they would desire for themselves. The music video gained widespread attention, playing across borders, including on the Kenya Mseto East Africa show on Citizen TV.
Maro and his team have been diligently preparing a 20-track album of hit songs for the year, with fans eagerly anticipating the release of the "Emberazo" album.
