Ugandan singer Martha Mukisa has finally spilled the tea on who tops her list of favorite artists in the country — and her choices are winning fans’ hearts.
During a candid chat on Executive Media’s YouTube channel, the “Ntibula” hitmaker didn’t hesitate when asked to name her favorite male and female musicians.
“In Uganda? Among the males I should say Eddy Kenzo,” Martha said with a bright smile. “Among the females, I like Azawi’s music. She’s my friend, and we’ve worked together before in the past when she was still a backup artist. I also love how her management is handling her.”
Why Eddy Kenzo and Azawi Made Her List
Martha’s admiration for Eddy Kenzo — the Grammy-nominated singer and current president of the Uganda National Musicians Federation — comes as no surprise. Known for his resilience and impact on Uganda’s music scene, Kenzo has become a role model for many upcoming artists.
Similarly, Azawi, a celebrated artist under Swangz Avenue, has earned praise for her consistency, creativity, and professionalism. Martha said her respect for Azawi goes beyond just her music — she’s inspired by how her team has nurtured her career to success.
“Azawi is talented and disciplined. I’ve known her since before her big break, and I’m really proud of how far she’s come,” Martha added warmly.
A Friendship Rooted in Respect and Music
Martha Mukisa revealed that her bond with Azawi goes way back to the early days of their music journeys. Before Azawi became a household name, the two worked together on several projects — experiences Martha says shaped her respect for the “Slow Dancing” star.
Fans have often compared the two powerhouse vocalists, but Martha made it clear there’s no rivalry — only mutual love and admiration.
“Azawi and I have been friends for a while,” she explained. “People expect competition between female artists, but I’m not about that. I celebrate other women winning.”
Martha on Industry Relationships: “I Don’t Do Drama”
While many artists have had their share of feuds and social media shade, Martha insists she’s keeping her circle positive and peaceful. She told fans she’s never had a serious conflict with anyone in the industry and prefers to focus on growth, not gossip.
“I haven’t experienced terrible incidents with my peers to the point of being irritated by them,” she said. “And also, if anyone has something against me, then they are lying — because I’m a very free person. I can be angry with you today, and the next day, I’m free with you.”
Her remarks stand out in an industry often marked by rivalry and public spats. Instead, Martha promotes unity and maturity among artists, believing it’s the key to building a stronger Ugandan music scene.
Fans React: “We Love This Energy!”
Fans quickly flooded the comment section of Executive Media’s YouTube video, praising Martha for her humility and honesty. Many applauded her for recognizing both Eddy Kenzo’s global achievements and Azawi’s undeniable talent.
One fan wrote:
“Martha has taste! Eddy Kenzo is a legend, and Azawi is pure fire. Respect to her for keeping it real.”
Another added:
“This is what we love to hear — women in music supporting each other instead of competing.”

The Bigger Picture: Women Supporting Women in Ugandan Music
Martha’s praise for Azawi and her non-toxic approach to industry relationships reflect a growing shift among female artists — from rivalry to collaboration and empowerment.
