Eddy Kenzo Backs Alien Skin’s Call for Musicians to Move On After Elections

Ugandan music star Eddy Kenzo has come out in support of fellow artist Alien Skin, urging musicians to put politics behind them and refocus on music now that the election period has ended.

Speaking to a news reporter, the Big Talent boss agreed that the country has moved past the heated political season and that artists must return to doing what keeps them relevant — releasing music. Kenzo emphasized that elections often create divisions, but holding onto political differences can only harm the growth of Uganda’s music industry.

“Elections are done. Now musicians should go back to work, release music and let bygones be bygones,” Kenzo said.

Kenzo stressed that regardless of who musicians supported during the elections, they all belong to the same industry and must work together moving forward. According to him, grudges fueled by political affiliations slow down progress and unity within the music fraternity.

The Stamina singer also encouraged reconciliation and forgiveness, urging artists who felt hurt or disappointed by others’ political choices to heal and rebuild relationships for the good of the industry. He noted that elections always come with mixed outcomes.

Kenzo revealed that although his preferred presidential candidate, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, emerged victorious, not all candidates he supported won. He disclosed that some parliamentary aspirants he backed — including opposition candidates — failed to make it to Parliament, proving that no one truly wins everything in an election.

Acknowledging that his message might sound easier coming from a Museveni supporter, Kenzo maintained that his appeal is genuine and aimed at helping the music industry move forward.

In conclusion, Eddy Kenzo urged musicians to unite, focus on creativity, and channel their energy into music, rather than prolonging political divisions that could stall their careers and the industry’s overall progress.
