Moses Ssali, alias Bebe Cool, used to be a radio presenter at Capital Radio in 2003, where he hosted KT-20, a weekend chart show.
His deep, husky voice made him a natural for radio, but his stint in the industry was short-lived, lasting just under a year.
However, during a recent interview, he said he decided to step away from radio because he was concerned about how frequently his voice was being heard on air.
He feared that fans might get used to his voice and grow less interested in his music.
