Who Is Eddy Kenzo?
Uganda’s Masaka was the place of Eddy Kenzo’s birth on December 25, 1989. Edrisah Musuuza goes by that name. He grew up on the streets of Masaka and Kampala after the death of his mother when he was still a little child. When he was younger, he played football and joined the Masaka Local Council FC at age 9. He had a passion for the game.
Five albums and at least 17 singles have been published since he first began performing under the alias Eddy Kenzo. His breakthrough occurred when numerous lawmakers in Uganda’s 2011 general elections used his 2010 single “Stamina” as their campaign anthem.
