Where did this morning find you?
In club Planet.
What was the last lie you ever told?
I always tell lies (…he shyly says and laughs at his own revelation).
What qualities do you like best about yourself?
Looks! People tell me I look cool.
What do you dislike most about yourself?
Too quiet, sometimes even when someone is talking to me. How can I overcome it? (…jokingly asks).
If you were invisible for a day, what would be the first thing you would do?
Robbing a well equipped and fancy bar. (…probably, if the bar had wheels…)
When was the last time you cried?
I’m not that emotional, but I last cried early last year. But to some extent I think crying is healthy because you feel a bit relieved.
What has been the most embarrassing moment of your life?
It was in 2004 at Car Wash (currently Roasters), when the Ugandan stars Juliana Kanyomozi and Bebe Wine performed in the country for their first time had performed in the country. I was accused and arrested by police for playing loud music.
Who did you last receive a text from and what did it say?
I guess it was from a certain lady, who cares about me and wanted to know how I’m doing. Sorry, I won’t reveal her name for security purposes.
All your money goes on what?
Buying and fixing my sound equipments. And I use the extra for fun with my buddies.
Where do you see yourself in five year’s time to come?
Well established and running my own nightspot.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done for love?
I can’t imagine of any!
To whom would you most wish to say sorry, and why?
No one! Honestly, I don’t remember hurting any human being.
How often do you pray?
I have a Muslim background, so I have to pray at least five times a day.
How do you relax?
Blazing with my friends either at home or somewhere else, depending on the mood of the day. But I also enjoy listening to RnB music and watching movies, especially comedies at home.
Tell us a secret....
I’m planning to open a Video mixing studio in Rwanda very soon.
