‘EVEN THE POOREST CAN MAKE IT’ EDDY KENZO SPEAKS ABOUT GRAMMY NOMINATION

Ugandan artiste Edrisah Musuuza popularly known as Eddy Kenzo has talked about his Grammy Nomination. 

Kenzo who is nominated for Best Global Music Performance, said his nomination should give hope to the underprivileged, “I can’t express my feelings. It is like I am dreaming. This nomination should give hope to the underprivileged. Even the poorest and the humblest can make it… if I made it, they can make it as well.” He told AFP.

The 33 year old singer says his dream was to make people laugh, “My dream was to make people happy, when someone dances he or she becomes happy, feels good, laughs, feels loved, shakes off stress and forgets depressing issues of the world. I also wanted to become a beacon of hope for those in despair that regardless of their current predicament, anyone can make it in life,” he said.

He is facing off against Burna Boy, Arooj Aftab & Anoushka Shankar, Rocky Dawuni  and Wouter Kellerman, Zakes Bantwini & Nomcebo Zikode. In 2015, the dancehall artiste won the Viewer’s Choice Best New International Artist at the BET Awards.
