Much sought after musician, Irene Ntale, known for songs like Gyobeera and Nkubukinze, has said that she hates money and it has never been a motivating factor for music. While explaining why she changed her music style to playing guitar, which is somewhat un-Ugandan, the 25 year old musician who comes from a family of 13 children made it clear that it has never been about the money.
“No, money has never been a motivating factor for me. I used to do acoustic soul music; I used to sing deep emotional stuff and I realised people don’t want to be sad with you,” Irene Ntale said.
“You know I used to sing about stuff that happened to me. I also wanted to increase my fan base –and I did, thank God – so, when I joined Swangz Avenue, I went commercial. I now feed both fan bases,” she told Quick Talk.
The singer who will soon be holding an intimate concert, the sort enjoyed by people who love her soul music, also revealed that she loves Mowzey Radio. “His voice is very infectious. When he sings, he delivers. If he is singing about heartbreak, you also feel like you are hurting,” Irene Ntale stated.
There you have it, you can never get to Irene’s heart with money. It is the last thing she thinks about in any situation let along in her music career which is very dear to her.
We will keep you posted.
