Gentil Misigaro is a Rwandan gospel singer, worship leader, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist whose music moves between Kinyarwanda, Swahili and English.

He was born in a village in the Democratic Republic of Congo and spent much of his childhood on the move, as his family sought safety first in Rwanda and then in Uganda. Music became his source of strength and hope. He began producing in Uganda in 2006, and in 2010 he and his family made a new home in Canada, where he became a citizen. In Winnipeg he led Status 4, a non-profit offering free music and arts programmes to at-risk youth.

In March 2019 he launched his debut album, Hari Imbaraga, with a concert in Kigali, and later that year began the Biratungana World Tour in Dallas, Texas. Releases including Vinakamilika, Ingoma Yawe and Nzagutegereza followed, along with collaborations with Adrien Misigaro, Gisubizo Ministries, Clark Kaze and Tumaini Byinshi. In December 2024 he performed with South Africa's Joyous Celebration at BK Arena in Kigali.

After almost four years away from releasing music, a season he describes as drawing closer to God, caring for his family and serving in his church, he returned in September 2025 with Antsindira Intambara, based on Isaiah 41:10. It is the first song from Yahweh, a ten-song album in three languages, which has since been followed by Ndifuza Gusa Nawe, Urakomeye and Ni Hehe Abizera Bazajya Kuba.
