KIU, Main Campus - Despite holding a Bachelor of International Relations and Diplomacy, rapper Kennedy Klama alias Kenny Klama is looking forward to conquering the world through music. He wants to change people's mindset using his talent.�

Klama, a strong admirer of American Hip Hop star Kendrick Lamar is a versatile artiste.� He can almost do every music genre although he concentrates on Hip Hop. He does his thing mostly in English, a reason he hopes will accelerate his global voyage.�

"I want to conquer the whole world through music. I don't just sing for Ugandans alone, I do it for everyone in the world. Literally that's why I use English in almost all my lyrics, " says Klama.�

Apart from conquering the world, Kenny hopes to change his homeland, Karamoja through music. He wants to build an undisputable legacy at home as well as at the international level.�

" I am also looking at my home community in Karamoja. I hope to change it and contribute something to the wellbeing of my people through sharing developmental messages in my music,c⬝ Klama explains.�

He started recording music in 2017 though he began writing lyrics as early as 2012 when he was in S. 3.� He has so far recorded more than 15 songs. He has released six of them.� Due to financial constraints, Klama finds it hard to record and release as many songs as he writes.�

"I have really written a number of songs but due to lack of enough financial resources, I have managed to record and release only a few," he reflects.�

The 25-year-old graduated from Kampala international University with a Bachelors of International Relations and Diplomatic Studies in November 2019. Despite suffering a setback due to COVID-19 pandemic crisis, Klama is confident, his music will soon take over the airwaves.�

His latest single titled 'Mwaga' is one you would wish to listen and dance to every time it rocks your ears.� Look it up on You tube, and enjoy the vibe.�
