Remembering Mowzey Radio: A Musical Icon’s Enduring Legacy in Ugandan Music

On February 1st, as the world welcomes a month of love, Ugandan music enthusiasts solemnly observe the anniversary of the passing of Mowzey Radio – a stalwart in the Ugandan music industry. Renowned for his unparalleled talent as both a vocalist and lyricist, Mowzey Radio captivated audiences with his profound philosophy and melodious tunes.

Teaming up with his singing counterpart Weasel, this dynamic duo revolutionized Ugandan music videos, elevating them to international standards through collaborations with top-tier directors both locally and globally. Timeless hits such as “Fantastic,” “Talk and Talk,” and “Can’t Let You Go” not only garnered widespread attention but also established new benchmarks for the entire industry.

In a groundbreaking moment in 2013, Radio and Weasel made history as the first East African musical act to receive a nomination for the BET Awards. This recognition not only highlighted their exceptional contributions but also distinguished the Ugandan music scene from its East African counterparts.

Mowzey Radio’s extraordinary talent attracted collaborations with artists at local, regional, continental, and international levels. A noteworthy collaboration was with Wizkid during an exclusive concert in Uganda, solidifying Radio’s reputation as a magnet for star power.

Throughout his career, the late crooner consistently represented Uganda on the global stage, participating in initiatives like Coke Studio, continental shows, securing a BET Award nomination, and conducting interviews on international platforms such as Voice of America. Mowzey Radio’s legacy remains a testament to his indelible mark on the Ugandan music landscape and his enduring impact on the international music scene.
