We emerged into the industry basically to give the entire world the good vibes and good music. We have passion for music. We love to sing. Music has been our thing. We decided to live our dream.
Who are the IDC?
We are two biological brothers. IDC means I don’t Care. Because we are both talented, we decided to team and make this group. Because of our back ground that make us not to care a lot about certain things in life, we decided to form up IDC.
You’re such a talented group, how did this come about?
Just by a mere twisting our tongues, we managed to create the group. Simply that.
Briefly tell us your music background? Was your families supportive in the first place?
Most parents think when one gets into music, you get spoilt but today they are shocked. Our family never supported us from the beginning but now we are good. Actually most of child abuses are connected with musicians.
With no doubt your songs are receiving massive airplays in whole of East africa and globe, in your thinking, what contributed to this?
We are making good music man. People now love our music because the message in is good and educative. Most TV and Radio presenters play our music because they cant avoid it. It sounds so nice.

Our latest project is ONSIMOGOLA. It is the song that is making heads turn. We are blessed that our music fans have loved the song.
Who produces most of your songs?
We have different producers according to the songs we want to put out. I wont mention one.
What would you be doing right now, if it wasn’t for your music careers?
We are already doing businessmen. We are hard core businessmen and we do music out of passion. We haven’t started earning from the music. We are just investing in it for now.
Is there a hidden meaning in any of your music?
Nothing like hidden. We sing about people’s day to day life challenges.
Who does the much work amongst you?
We are equal. We share roles. No one does much.
Do you collaborate with others? What is that process?
We would like to collaborate with many singers in Uganda but challenge is that Ugandan well established singers are mean. We approach them and tell us to talk to their managers. These people tell us to pay money to have the whole process done. They even tell us to pay for production process if the collabo is going to happen. It is challenging process. Sadly for us no one has ever approached us for a collabo.
Many groups have come out but failed to stand, what causes this?
Misunderstandings and pride. We know our hussle and ready to move on.
How ready are two to make your group stand?
By all means it has to stand. We need more support and management.
How are you ready for the challenges in the music industry?
We have faced the hardest challenges in this industry and we have gotten used to it. We have been hit so hard where it hurts most but have managed to thrive. So we are now more than ready.
How do you share the money since you’re two?
We are in this industry to make fans happy and money will come later. We are not money minded and we know how to handle money issues.
Have you done investments together?
Not yet but the small we’ve each one has shares.
Do you live together like late Radio and Weasel?
Yes. We live together in a very big barracks in Busia.
How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
Internet is the fast way of music visibility. We post and share our music. All because of internet.
