ENTERTAINMENT | PROFILE

Who are you?
I am Hanson Balilulo, a musician who has been staying and singing in Sweden until recently when I decided to return home because my people understand my music more than anyone else.

What do you mean by more than else?
Laugh!! See, I do afro pop which Ugandans like much and ladies are my supporters than men. When I talk of "They understand my music", I mean I know what Ugandans want and on top of that, I am a stylist so that also adds a credit on me.

According to your scent, seems you use expensive perfume.

Ohh yes, I actually use different fumes and they are all expensive. They range from $200 to $300. I use creed, black orchid, Hugo and Tom ford.

Where do you get money? You are not well-known
Yes. I get it from music, but still, I do go back to Sweden because I have some businesses there. You cannot rely on music alone and a young musician, I have to do whatever makes me happy.

That's good money then. Why are you not in showbiz splashing money like Brian white?

No, I have religion background if I am to be in showbiz, then, I have to help the needy where necessary but not splashing money anyhow. Actually, my pocket change is Sh450, 000 per day. It's not good to brag.

You were once in Judith Babirye band, why did you leave?

I left while going for further studies in Europe, I wanted to do theology and besides, I wanted to be a stand lone musician. Yes, she was paying me 1M per month with some allowances but I wanted to be independent.

 

There is Theology institution in Mukono, why did you decide to go Europe and who was sponsoring you?

I had my savings remember I was already being paid in the band. Going to Europe, I wanted to start a new life and get exposure.

Why don't you sing gospel despite your religion background?

There is no money in gospel music.  It's a charity game and I need money.

Are you dating?
Ohh No. I am not.  I had my first girlfriend for eight years but it dint workout. The second one lasted for about two years and also it failed. They all used to complain that I never had time for them. For me, money first and love later.

 



What kind of bars do you always go to?
I don't club unless I have a performance. I like cool places by expensive where I can go, sit and plan for my future. I am not an outing man because I don't drink alcohol

Have you ever been embarrassed?
Actually once. I took a lady on a date and when I proposed, she refused me. She said she could not be with me so I was so embarrassed to be denied by a lady I had loved.

Black women or whites?
Black are kind but money minded. I have actually been DE toothed by women several times. When you call to meet her, she will ask you transport and airtime which is different from white girls. I would prefer whites.
