Eddy Kenzo was born Edrisah Musuuza in Masaka, Uganda in 1989. He started making music with the Bataka Underground group around 2008 before going solo a couple years later. His 2013 single 'Sitya Loss' caught on unexpectedly, first in Uganda and then across Africa, becoming the kind of viral hit that changes everything for an artist.
That song gave its name to his debut album and opened doors internationally. Another track, 'Tweyagale,' connected with listeners too, becoming something of an anthem in its own right. His music often pulls from Ugandan folk rhythms while keeping things accessible, with songs like 'Jambole' and 'Mariaroza' showing his range from danceable pop to more reflective moments.
He's faced some public difficulties, including an assault charge in 2016 that was later dismissed.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
