I started when I was in P6 with a brass brand called Mbiko brass band in Jinja. While in secondary school, I studied music and at enrolled for Film and TV production but after, I returned back to music. In 2011, I started working in music studios?

Did you ever get pressure from relatives or parents to pursue anyone else other than music?

Luckily, no! My family has a strong music background. My sister (Jemimah Sanyu) is a singer, my brother (Big Nash) is a music producer and my parents too are involved in music so music flows in our blood.

Iryn Namubiru (Anjagala), A Pass (Mariana), Voltage Music (Cheza, Mama), Bebe Cool (Onepikira), Bobi Wine (For better for worse), Winnie Nwagi (Musaawo), Lyto Boss( True love) among others.

It’s an eleven track album with my original compositions. I have features with Mun-G, Bruno-K, Sanyu Jemimah, Myko Ouma, Pages and Shifah Musisi.

How long have you been working on this album?

I recorded the first song in 2015 and I have been working on it since then.

What impression do you want people to get after listening to Koona?

People have been using the saxophone for slow jazz. I have brought on board a fusion of dance beats to blend the saxophone. That’s why the album is called “Koona”, which means to dance. I brought in hiphop, club bangers, pop all blended with saxophone.

Sounds impressive! Is the work paying off?

Yeah! I got my first ride Nissan Lauren from music. I am driving VW Golf 4. I am taking care of my siblings, going places. I am a minister at Zoe Fellowship. I am remnant. I also played at Jazz and Soul Safari this year.
