Sheebah, also an accomplished dancer, actress, and feminist activist, has a significant presence in the music industry for over a decade. Her achievement in establishing ‘Karma Music’ makes her the first female musician to own a record label in Uganda.
In a Twitter video, she proudly stated, “I’m the first female [musician] to own a music record label [in Uganda].”
‘Karma Music’ aims to identify, nurture, and promote emerging talents from Uganda on the global stage. During the launch event, Sheebah introduced a talent search, inviting newcomers and established artists to participate.
The judging panel, featuring Sheebah herself, Fik Fameica, Artin Pro, Naava Grey, and Chosen Becky, will not only evaluate but also guide participants as mentors, writers, and producers through various industry stages.
Finalists will face the challenge of creating two songs: one original composition and another as a collaboration with their assigned mentors. The culmination of this talent search will be a grand finale concert, with the ultimate winner securing a contract with Karma Music.
Interestingly, this development coincides with Sheebah’s upcoming musical showdown against Cindy Sanyu, also known as The King Herself.
Sanyu shared her anticipation, stating, “Sheebah and I have a battle coming up. We are about to make history.”
Cindy’s Concert is scheduled for September 15, 2023, aligning with Sheebah’s Yolo Festival dates.
