Ugandan music icon and President of the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF), Eddy Kenzo, has revealed his favorite artists of 2024, celebrating those who have made significant contributions to the industry this year.
In an exclusive interview with a popular YouTuber, Kenzo highlighted a few standout names, emphasizing their creativity, work ethic, and impact on Uganda’s music scene.
Nandor Love
Kicking off his list, Kenzo applauded Nandor Love for his unmatched creativity, recognizing him as a force driving innovation within the industry.
Ava Peace
Next up was Ava Peace, whom Kenzo described as “very aggressive” in her approach to music. Her relentless drive and unique style have set her apart, earning her a place on his esteemed list.
Azawi
Kenzo also included Azawi, a household name in Uganda’s music scene, known for her exceptional artistry and ability to consistently deliver hits.
Dax Vibez
Wrapping up his list, Kenzo gave special mention to Dax Vibez, lauding his remarkable year marked by two chart-topping hit songs that have resonated with fans across the country.
Kenzo also shared a broader perspective on success in the music industry, emphasizing the importance of hard work and strategy.
