Jamal Wasswa was born in Masaka in Senyange village in Uganda to Mariam Nantongo and the late Muhammad Mutabazi.
He is the youngest of seven children. He began his early years by singing at karaoke bars in Kampala, Uganda, among other musicians and artists.
After a few months of performing in bars, he entered the recording studio in 2007 and cut the song 'Oba Wuwo'.
After a few months, the song became popular and was played on all the major radio stations in Uganda, making Jamal Waswa a household name.
Let us hope Wasswa makes a full recovery.
