In 2010 Pilato won the Ngoma Award as Zambia's Best Poet.

2013

In 2013, he recorded a single entitled "Bufi" featuring Petersen, a highly politically charged song that labeled the late President Michael Sata a "Father of Lies".

The song got a negative feed back as the supporters of the ruling party were up in arms and he claims he received numerous death threats over the song.

In 2013 some rumours spread that pilAto was arrested over the song "Bufi".

In the song Pilato and Petersen sing about broken promises like cheap fuel, construction of roads and job opportunities for young people.

They used words like Boza, Bufi, Ulabeja, Wenye, which all mean the same thing: lies.

But all these reports where dismissed by the Lusaka Police Chief Joyce Kasosa that Pilato has been detained over his latest song titled Bufi.

incident and that Pilato is still a free citizen.
