Mowzey Radio as he was famously known in Uganda, was an epitome of what can be described as a musical genius, these are not roses when you are gone but rather the reality of the subject at hand. On 1st February ’18, Uganda lost its son, East Africa lost an icon, the entire region grieved. Radio died from blood clot after an alleged ‘pub brawl’ that happened in Kampala, Uganda.
Born Moses Nakintije Ssekibogo, artistically known as Radio, Mowzey Radio, Moses Radio..et Al Initially, Radio started his musical journey as a back up singer with Weasel under Leone Island Music Empire in 2005, this duo, Radio & Weasel, later formed their own successful group ‘Goodlyfe Crew’ in 2007 until his demise.
He has had a career which has won him several accolades, a huge fan base in Africa, who are still streaming his music everyday. His voice penetrates. There is a place music can reach, where good music takes you, that’s what his music does to a person. Whether you knew him personally, or as a fan, even if you never followed his art as consistent, you definitely have heard of him, or his art, a musical king from Busoga, Uganda.
What made him the icon that he was, as Tanzanian artist Frida Amani said at her interview with WYS Global, “No one can reach the length of your art. If you are a real artist you just got your own art, got your own lane.”
He He had his own art, his own unique beautiful authentic sound, there will never be another Radio but his art, his talent still lives on. His music, his sound, is still so current, his voice made the music breathe, it made it sing!
Radio touched & inspired so many lives with his music. He was a gift on earth and we are celebrating him
“he understood music & knew what he wanted. Radio was a legend” “I didn’t know Swahili by then but I knew word by word of this song” (referencing, ‘Where You Are’ by Blu 3 ft. Radio & Weasel).
Comments from one of Radio’s very huge fan, Joseph Kagimu ( Uganda Rugby Crane Player).
