Asked how he has been able to remain consistent, the ‘Mercy’ artiste summed it all up with hard work, resilience, and belief in God.
He also advised Ugandans to love their artistes because it’s the only way African music is going to grow.
“I encourage you all to keep supporting first your artistes and then African artistes. Support Fik Fameica and the rest because that is the only way we are going to conquer the world,” he said.
