Question: How long have you been together?
Twelve years. We have four children. We have worked hard to make a good family and I am a co-director of all the family businesses and an artiste too.
When did you first think of love?
I think I was in A’ Level but I never got a serious boyfriend. We were conservative then, unlike today. We used to read books of Home Economics and would imagine having good homes like those in books but we never went beyond that.
Was it your plan to marry a rich man?
Relationships cannot work when based on money because family issues require maturity, sensitivity, deep love and patience. A relationship based on money cannot last. When I thought about love I wanted a man who was very Christian and sensitive to my feelings. Money was not my priority.
Have you composed any song for him?
Yes. It is on my latest album Heart Break. It is called I am in love. It is about how he treats me –– like a queen.
How did you handle campus life as a married woman?
It was very challenging because I had to leave my home to live in Kampala to study. We talked about it with my husband before I started and we agreed since it was part time.
People call you on radio to flirt, doesn’t this annoy your husband?
At first it was the listeners who knew us that were bothered. They would advise my husband to get me off air but he told them that I had an important role to play and there was no reason for him to sack me because of such small issues.
Do you love attention?
Who wouldn’t want to be noticed?
People say that artistes and rich men do not have stable families
It is not only for artistes and rich men. It may apply to other people as well. The problem is that the artistes and rich men are easily noticed.
Have you ever suspected him?
In the beginning I was suspicious, but as our relationship grew, I realised there was nothing. We are usually out together and go home together, so there is no room for suspicion. By the way, it is good to work together because you will never be bored and suspicious and you get to learn each other.
Has marriage affected your singing career?
No.

What attracted you to Agatha?
Her infectious smile. She is generous with her smile. I knew I would find more interesting details about her, because behind such a smile, there had to be something exciting.
Had you gotten any bad relationships in the past?
Oh yeah! Quite a lot of them. I don’t know whether I was the bad guy, but in my opinion, I first met bad girls. God realised that I had suffered enough and sent me Agatha. I am not complaining.
When was your first attempt at love?
I was active from a very young age when I was in Primary Six. That is when I got my first crush; there was a girl I loved so much and bought her several hankies, but because she grew faster, someone took her.
Were you such a spender on girls?
Yes, I spent a lot on my ex-girlfriends. Unfortunately, Agatha came into my life when I had changed my strategies. I was more interested in business and investment than luxury. Investment was a priority. Good enough, she was a woman I wanted, she was comfortable with whatever I did.
Did she ever stop you from spending?
She didn’t have to, because I had stopped spending on trivial things. She found I had changed from spending on impulse.
How romantic are you?
Not so romantic; I am an African man, but I am what she wants because she guides me when she wants us to do something. For example, she reminds me that it is holiday time and that we should go somewhere.
How did you cope when she was studying at Makerere University?
It was difficult, but we prepared for consequences before she started the course. We discussed all the possible hindrances and agreed on how to go about them. Besides, it was not a course that needed her full time at campus. She would be there two weeks in three months.
How have you managed to keep together after this long?
We have taken our time to know each other. She respects my interests and so do I. She is not the kind who overreacts.
What do you do when fans pick interest in her and go to the stage to hug her?
In most performances she goes with our bouncers. She is also conscious about funny characters in her fan base, she has to avoid them as much as possible.
