Khan Music is the personal recording imprint of Tanzanian artist Mbosso (Mbwana Yusuph Kilungi), set up in February 2025 when he left WCB Wasafi, the label run by Diamond Platnumz. Mwananchi, the Tanzanian national daily, has described it in reporting as his own label and him as an independent artist operating under it.

No company registration has been located in Tanzania’s BRELA or COSOTA records, so Khan Music’s corporate status is unestablished; it functions, on the available record, as a release imprint rather than a confirmed registered entity. As of mid-2026, Mwananchi reported that no other artist had been signed to it, and Khan Music carries no distribution or publishing credit of its own: Mbosso’s recordings continue to be distributed by Ziiki Media, which is also named as phonogram owner on them.

A candidate website, khanmusic.co, resolves but serves an unattributable placeholder page with no mention of Khan Music, Mbosso or Tanzania, so no official site is recorded here.
