Ugandan artiste Azawi credits producer Kuseim for her rise to fame, emphasizing his influence on her early music career and hit songs.
Ugandan singer Azawi has publicly acknowledged the significant role that producer Kuseim played in launching her music career.
In a recent interview on Kasuku Live, Azawi expressed her gratitude, stating, “Kuseim produced ‘Quinamino’, ‘Repeat It’, ‘Slow Dancing’, ‘Party Mood’… I don’t know how God did it and we met and bonded. He played a big part in my career.”
Azawi revealed that many of her breakout songs were created even before she joined Swangz Avenue, one of Uganda’s leading record labels.
Initially, she intended to sell these songs to various music labels, including Swangz Avenue, as she navigated her early days in the industry.
She recounted, “In fact, I was going to sell ‘Repeat It’ for Shs 300k and I needed that money. I had given some of the songs to Swangz Avenue and the rest to some other talent managers. Whoever was paying more is who I’d sell to.”
Azawi’s collaboration with Kuseim proved to be a turning point in her career, leading to the production of several hit songs that propelled her to fame.
Her experience underscores the importance of producer-artist partnerships in the music industry.
