BigEye.Ug caught up with vocalist, singer and D-Records proprietor Sweet Kid and he shared with us about his other businesses and music projects for 2014. Below are excerpts from the chat.
1. What is ‘Sweet Events’ about and when did it start?
Sweet Events is an events company that I own, and it’s a sister company to my other company D-Records studio. It deals in events, weddings, Kwanjula, Birthdays, Artistes, Bookings and supplies chairs, Tents, Sound stages etc. It started way back in 2010.
2. Any projects for this year?
My first project this year is a collaboration with Ziza Bafana, it’s a love track titled “Tofayo” produced by producer NIC at D-Records. I have other collaborations coming up with Dr. Hilderman and other 5 solo projects.
3. You have performed for both international and local crowds,which one do you find more appealing?
They are all equally appealing.
4. What is your favourite song of your entire career?
My favourite song may not necessarily be my fans’ best song. It will be “Abeerawo” which I did in Denmark way back in 2009.
5. What do you do outside active music?
Am so business oriented. Like I said, Sweet events is just one of the many businesses I have.
6. What is your favourite colour?
Red, red is too much attached to romance and I too believe in love.
7. If you were to do a collabo with any Ugandan artiste now, who would it be?
They are so many; I love raga-dancehall, am so versatile, I love high temple beats, I would do a song with any of the above type of artistes.
8. What inspires your music?
What I feel inside me, that is the basis of all my music. Am a free spirited person and I do what I feel inside and that’s me.
9. I have not heard at any one point you having a manager, don’t you have one or you never disclose his identity?
I don’t have manager, I manage himself
10. Any last words?
I appreciate everybody who has contributed to my music, especially Radio, TV, Club Deejays, Producers and I can’t forget my family that has supported me since day one of my career, the fans have been great too showing me a lot of love.
