Artist Biography
Moses Nakintije Ssekibogo (1 January 1985[ – 1 February 2018), also known as Mowzey Radio, sometimes refered to as Moses Radio, was a Ugandan musician. He was one of the main performers of the Ugandan music group Goodlyfe Crew together with Jose Chameleone's brother Weasel Manizo (real name Douglas Sseguya). Radio released his first solo song, "Tujja Kuba Wamu" in 2004 while at Makerere University before joining the Leone Island Music Empire in 2005. He started as a backup singer along with Weasel behind Jose Chameleone. His beautiful voice and talent saw him win women's hearts in the year 2005 after he had released a reggae love song called "Jennifer Njagala Ozine Amazina"; the official stage video for that song was filmed by popular Ugandan music promoter DJ Erycom. In the year 2006, Mowzey Radio released another song titled "Sweet Lady"; this was another masterpiece that introduced him to a large fan base in Uganda. In October 2007, Mowzey Radio, Weasel and Jose Chameleone toured the USA and the Caribbean. Before they returned home, Radio and Weasel had misunderstandings with their boss Jose Chameleone. Following disagreements between Chameleone and the two, they quit the group and formed Goodlyfe Crew, who became successful. Their first song was "Nakutadata", followed by "Ngamba" and so many other hits. He made music collaborations with musicians such as Rabadaba in the song "Ability" together with Weasel[5], produced by Just Jose.
