The Ugandan Urban gospel singer Mutalya Elvis alias Mac Elvis is dead.
He is said to have died after drowning in a swimming pool in Tanzania where he and some other Ugandan artistes were involved in school and church tours. It was reported that the singer’s body was found floating in the swimming pool.
The Urban gospel star has been almost everything and has done almost everything to lift the gospel music industry in Uganda. He has been a producer, singer and even a preacher.
In the journey of his career, he had managed to voice many songs which include Katikiya, Topowa Game, Oli Nange Alternative, First Priority, Love Him Now to mention but a few. He had even collaborated with famous Gospel star Exodus.
According to reliable sources Mac Elvis was a true born again Christian who sprouted out of the crowd with his 2011 release, “Church Boy”, an album full of mid-tempo jams and occasional club rockers. Elvis was under Watoto Child Care taken in after losing his parents at the age of 6.
Uganda and the whole gospel industry will dearly miss you. RIP Elvis!
