Although it has not been long that Kiwanuka has stepped into professional singing career, he has already established himself as a seasoned artist. He started off as a performer at local venues in late 2000s, gaining popularity almost instantly. His fame went more widespread after the release of his debut EP titled ‘Tell Me a Tale’ in the beginning of 2011. The EP was produced by Communion Records, the company that later released another one of his EP. The record label deal was made when one of the Communion Records company's higher officials listened to Kiwanuka performing at a small venue, and was thoroughly impressed by his voice. According to the records, Michael Kiwanuka probably performed for the first time at a big event in 2011 at Kentish Town, The Oxford. At that time, he was working with two other performers as a session guitarist including Bashy and Chipmunk.
 
The initial demand for Michael Kiwanuka tickets was also brought by his associated acts with senior artists. The most significant among those was Adele, who was on her ‘Adele Live’ tour across the nation when Michael Kiwanuka joined her and supported her on his guitars. Kiwanuka also performed with Adele at ‘iTunes Festival show’. Another one of his milestone performances during that time was at the ‘Hard Rock Calling festival 2011’. His performance there brought him to the limelight in front of critics, and Kiwanuka was taken as one of the most promising soul artists for the future after that show.
 
Later that year, Michael Kiwanuka made a record label deal with another company named Polydor Records, that later resulted in the release of his first studio album titled Home Again. The album was a remarkable success, and soon climbed up the international charts to peak at number 4 in the UK, number 3 at Norway and number 2 in Belgium. It was a great success for the relatively newer artist in the industry, and a source of encouragement for his future endeavors. Many of the songs from his album reached top positions on international music charts, especially the title song ‘Home Again’, ‘I'll Get Along’ and ‘I'm Getting Ready’.
 
Many critics compare his work with that of Randy Newman, Bill Withers, the Temptations, Van Morrison and Otis Redding. He has always received positive reviews from critics as well as general public all over the world, a fact that became more evident in early 2012 when he was declared of ‘Sound of 2012’ poll organized by BBC. Michael Kiwanuka has admired work of his fellows and seniors including Pops Staples, Joni Mitchell, Eric Bibb, Richie Havens, The Band, Bob Dylan and Tommy Sims among others. He has also worked with James Gadson who was famous for his drumming skills.
