UG’s Best Artists And Entertainers of The Decade Revealed

As we cross over to 2020, we can’t fail to acknowledge some artistes who have made a mark in various music fields for the past decade.

Here are some of them:

Artiste of the Decade – Jose Chameleone

There are many reasons why he calls himself the music legend and the GOAT; he indeed deserves the titles. Chamili has not only managed to stay on for decades and but also mentored big stars in the course. . The Leone Island chief has released countless timeless classics like Basiima Ogenze, Wale Wale, Badilisha among other songs that will forever be hits even in the coming decades.

Male artiste of the decade – Bebe Cool

He was and still one of the biggest artistes in the game. Many ‘faded’ artistes talk about the huge competition in the music industry but Bebe Cool has managed to stand the test of time and after decades in the industry, he’s never unshaken by competition. Bebe Cool has many reasons to call himself Big size and maybe he deserves that basing on his forever hit songs like Agenze, Ki ekiganye, Katono among others.

Female artiste of the decade – Cindy Sanyu

Cindy gained fame as a member in the all-girls music group Blu*3, but even after parting ways with them to pursue a solo career in 2010, Cindy has managed to remain consistent, released several hit songs like Ayokya yokya, Nkoye among others that are still keeping her on top of the game.

Duo/group of the decade – Goodlyfe

This group comprised of two artistes Mozwey Radio and Weasel, and though Radio passed on in 2018, the legacy made by this group in the past decade is and will forever make them the best, their timeless projects like Kuku, Zuena, Bread and Butter, among others can prove that.

Besides that, Goodlyfe has inspired many artistes like B2C, Voltage music, Ykee Benda among other artistes who attribute their music success to this duo.

Best song of the decade – Basiima Ogenze

For over a decade now, we are still enjoying the vibes of this song, Basiima Ogenze.

Basiima Ogenze was done by Jose Chameleone and it has a strong message that tells off people who tend to appreciate others after they are dead, and since many people are still guilty about that habit, this song is and will always be on people’s lips.

Best collabo of the decade – Ability

We have had many collabos for the past years but Ability is something else, this song was done by Goodlyfe alongside Rabadaba and it’s still a big hit. it was released in 2010 off Goodlyfe’s Ngenda Maaso album.

Best Band of the decade – Eagles Production

It reached at a time when the band members couldn’t work together and the star studded band was no more! However Eagles Production is arguably the only band that gave Afrigo Band a run for their dime. With talented artists like Geoffrey Lutaaya, Mesach Ssemakula, Ronald Mayinja among others, the band surely made things happen.

Audio producer of the decade – Paddy Man

Paddy Man and David Ebangi aka Producer Washington stood out. The pair crafted killer music beats which shaped the new crop of producers we have now. Paddy Man produced classics like Basiima Ogenze, Valu Valu, Badilisha and one the other hand, Washingtone is the brain behind almost all chart-topping songs of Radio and Weasel. Hmm tight competion but Paddy Man edges Washingtone.

Video producer of the decade – Frank Jahlive

Frank Mugerwa aka Frank Jahlive is one of a few visual producers who have stayed in the game for over a decade and still delivers quality. Jahlive joined this industry in 2009 with his breakthrough video Bwekiri by Rabadaba and since then, he is just growing bigger following projects like Stamina by Eddy Kenzo, Ngenda maaso, Heart attack, by Goodlyfe, Tax money among others.

Best artiste manager of the decade – Jeff Kiwa

How would the music industry be without Jeff Kiwa!!! With no doubt, Kiwa is one of the biggest pillars in the industry and most of the big names have gone through his hands. for a decade, he has managed to boost many music talents and also signed many under his management (Team No Sleep), some include Jose Chameleone, Good life, Pallaso, AK47, Sheebah, Nina Roz among others.

Best concert of the decade – Battle of Champions

This is the biggest music concert in the history of Uganda’s concerts, it was a battle of supremacy between Bobi wine and Bebe Cool, and it happened at Lugogo Cricket oval in 2012. The concert was organized by KT Promotions and till now, it’s still taking the lead.

Standout musician of the decade – Bobi Wine

You can’t talk about Uganda’s music industry and forget about Bobi Wine, and you can’t talk about the country’s current politics and leave him out. From the ghettos of Kamwokya, Bobi Wine is among the few entertainers who have become prominent legislators after people of Kyadondo East voted for him to represent them in Parliament during the 2017 By-elections. And because of his big support both locally and internationally, the musician turned politician is even eyeing the Presidential seat come 2021. He is currently the biggest inspiration to many youth given his background.
