Tanzanian based musician Ziggy Dee burst onto the Ugandan music scene with his monster hit Eno Mic. He hasn’t brought out anything as big since, who didn’t dance to the hit?
In the club, we danced to it and on radio it enjoyed such enormous airplay that it could have been billed an anthem of sorts.
Ziggy Dee has not managed to drop a hit as big as Eno Mic (ya Ziggy Dee tesaga), which has prompted talk that the artiste has fizzled out. In fact there is a joke about him having gone down along with his hit.
For that, he was soon christened a one-hit wonderer.
He has been working on a 24- track album, which will re-define him as a big artist in East Africa.
And it’s one of the main issues that brought the Eno Mic singer in Rwanda. "I have been in a studio working on 24-track album which is timely to challenge critics.
It will cover all music lovers because I have blended various music styles like Bolingo (Zairian style), Bongo flavour, Kwaito and dancehall among others. It’s my proof to people that I’ve never ‘burned out’.
After all, there are other songs I have released besides Eno Mic,” Ziggy Dee said explained while talking to the new times entertainment reporter on a phone.
Recovering from the ‘big hit’ Eno Mic In local music it is one thing to put out a hit or successful album, and another to follow it up with an equal one. This is what Ziggy Dee is fighting hard to prove.
"I want to show people that it wasn’t chance for me to get in the limelight and that’s why am traveling around east African countries to promote my new album”. Ziggy Dee explained
The renowned Ugandan artist is in the country (Gitarama), with a number of artists, Mc Tino, PHD, Joe, who are helping him to promote his up coming album. Ziggy Dee has a plan of traveling around Rwanda and other east African countries while promoting his album.
Ziggy’s tour in Rwanda is sponsored by Flash Fm, Salus Fm and he promised to cover all the major cities in the country.
