How do you feel after receiving all these offers from the school?
(Smiles) I feel so lucky because I know how to sing.
Won’t the singing interfere with your studies?
No, mummy put up a time table for me. She divided my time and she even checks my books every day.
How many songs do you have?
I have eight songs.
Tusinze, Never forget, Yesu Yetaala, Omuliro, Mugume, Mwije, WBS, Movit.
Are you working on another album?
Yes, I will release it it very soon.
What are your songs about?
My songs are about God.
They also advise children and parents on different things.
For example the song, Omuliro, warns against child sacrifice.
Who taught you how to sing?
It is a talent. But my mother helps me improve my voice.
Does she also write for you?
Yes, but not all the time.
Who is your best musician?
Mesaach Semakula. This is because his songs have good meaning.
What do you want to become in future?
I want to become a doctor. I also want to sing.
