Despite facing tough competition with over 3,000 contestants, Draei managed to reach the top 10. Unfortunately, he was eliminated in the live shows due to a poor song choice. Nevertheless, this exposure introduced Draei Bitsc to a wider audience and gained him a following even after his elimination.

In 2020, Draei Bitsc took part in the Aka Dope singing competition, where he stood out among 250 contestants and secured a place in the top 10. However, due to academic challenges, he was unable to compete in the grand finale.

Draei Bitsc has since released timeless music that blends African sounds with guitars and keyboards, resulting in a unique and distinctive sound that complements his voice. In 2020, he released his single "Enyange," which became the most popular song in the Rutooro speaking community. The song was produced and recorded at Big Spit Studios by Draei Bitsc and Sagio Mhza.
