Azawi is as good as Mowzey Radio – Julius Kyazze

Kyazze, however, cautioned those in the habit of using AI on other people’s art to learn to seek permission.
Singer Azawi is under Swangz Avenue management
Swangz Avenue boss Julius Kyazze has suggested that going by the reaction to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) version of singer Azawi’s Masavu that featured the late Mowzey Radio's vocals, she is as good as he was.
He said the version made him happy in as much as it was done without their permission.
“The reaction to Masavu actually amused me a lot. Because I started thinking it means this singer is as good as Mowzey. I said this artiste is going to turn as big as Mowzey,” said Kyazze.
He noted that considering legal action didn’t cross his mind because the AI version of the song turned out to be big and so they are earning royalties from both.
Kyazze, however, cautioned those in the habit of using AI on other people’s art to learn to seek permission.
“The mistake the AI guy made was not seeking permission. You can find a bad person and get arrested. But we are running a business. The song is working. I told Azawi Ugandans think she is great. She should take it as a compliment. They think she is Mowzey material.”
