Biography
Kenzo was born in Masaka in southern part of Uganda. He lost his mother at the age of 5 and would go on to live a street life for 13 years. After high school, he adopted his stage name Eddy Kenzo and began writing music. In 2008, he featured in popular song "Yanimba" by Mikie Wine. His breakthrough came in 2010, when the song "Stamina" drew a mass attention and was used by the President of Uganda as the theme song in his presidential campaign.[2] He released the album Ogenda Kunzisa in 2012. In 2013, released Kamunguluze and toured the USA.[3] His song "Sitya Loss" became his most popular song to date, and a video of Ugandan boys dancing to the song went viral.
