Veteran Kadongo Kamu artist Mathias Walukagga has shared a little-known chapter of his journey, revealing that he once worked as a houseboy for the late legendary singer Paul Kafeero.Walukagga disclosed that he lived at Kafeero’s home in Maganjo, where he carried out household duties while quietly nurturing his passion for music. Despite the humble role, the experience would later become a turning point in his career.Reflecting on the mid-1990s, Walukagga recounted how he found himself in close proximity to some of Kadongo Kamu’s biggest names at the time, including Herman Basudde and Kasozi. He revealed that in 1996, as the trio frequently collaborated on music projects, he often accompanied them to the studio.I would sit in the studio at Kasiwukira’s, where Tim Kizito was producing. When Kafeero was composing songs, I would sometimes suggest words as backup.It was during these moments that Kafeero noticed his talent.According to Walukagga, the legendary singer was impressed by his voice and songwriting instincts, eventually drawing him closer. What started as casual contributions in the studio evolved into a mentorship, with Walukagga moving in and becoming part of Kafeero’s household.Prince Job Paul Kafeero’s estate to sue artists over unauthorized re-voicing and altering of his musicBefore that, Walukagga says he had initially been under Kasozi’s wing, but he always admired Kafeero’s exceptional songwriting and unique vocal style. Being taken in by the icon was, therefore, a dream come true.Beyond music exposure, Walukagga says he gained invaluable lessons from Kafeero’s disciplined approach to songwriting. He recalls how the late singer would write with intention and clarity.Kafeero would write just two lines of a song, close the book, and leave. He always wrote with a purpose, unlike many musicians today. @shalom_kaweesi Full interview on Shalom 256 YouTube channel #fyp #foryou #foryoupage❤️❤️ #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp #shalomkaweesi ♬ original sound – Shalom Kaweesi The post Mathias Walukagga reveals he worked as Paul Kafeero’s houseboy appeared first on MBU.
