Makindye for a long time has been known to be a home of Musicians. Most upcoming musicians will tell their stories how their careers began in Makindye. Unfortunately after sailing through, these musicians abandon Makindye for other suburbs and start living large.
When you visit Makindye, young looking boys with dreads welcome you. As early as 10 am, you bump into groups trying to sing songs. Bars are full of programs every day with Kareoke performers. There are a number of notable artists that have settled for Makindye. There are many bars; the possibility of getting few deals here and there is possible.
Maureen Kabasiita
Maureen admitted that she was never a musician. She said she was never born to sing but she sings just for fun. This comes after succumbing to pressure. She last realised a hit years back. She instead concentrated on looking for a stable man. That’s why the only news we hear about her is when she is snatching news. She left Entebbe and is now living in Makindye
Sizzaman
Sizzaman is a dead and faded artist. The last time we had about him was on TV where Straka was accusing him of not providing for their child. He has since settled in Makindye.
Queen Bella
Self-proclaimed queen of dancehall is faded and done with music. She is now in saloon business. She lives in Makindye struggling.
Sugar mummies have found permanent residences in Makindye
This is strange but true, a number of old women have found comfort in Makindye. These women target artistes and Rastafarian looking guys. They inject money in these guys in return for sex. They are always around Isabella bar and bars around High court. They live far deep side of Makindye. In bars, these women are shameless. They want to show face with the young boys. They spend so much on them as long as they are so loyal to them. These young musician’s live solely on these women. They have no jobs apart from trying to sing.
