"My fans can't fit in Serena,” said Cindy alluding to Karungi’s bragging point during the press conference that she hosted a two-day concert at the prestigious hotel yet Cindy hasn’t.
“I would have to do about eight shows. At most Serena can accommodate 4000-5000 people, at Lugogo, we had 35,000 and we still had more outside... so there is no need to suffer with Serena yet there is outdoor space. [Cindy held a show at the expansive Lugogo Cricket Oval in March 2020.]”
Cindy and Sheebah Karungi will face off in a music battle on September 15 at Kololo Airstrip in Kampala.
Who is Cindy Sanyu?
In the interview, Cindy said her mother is an Iteso and her father is a Munyoro from Masindi. The father died when she was two and she was raised by her single mother.
The Boom Party hitmaker joined the music industry in 2005 through a competition called Coca-Cola Real Stars.
She didn't win.
But she recorded a song called Time to Say Good Bye.
Participating in the first competition gave her the confidence to join Coca-Cola Pop Stars, which was organised shortly after. She was then in high school at a school in Mbale.
She came and participated and in 2005 Blu*3 was founded with Steve Jean, the legendary producer and owner of Fenon Records, as the manager.
She would leave after two years after getting fired.
She joined Blu*3 when she was in S.6., and she would balance school with music.
Before the formation of their singing group, Cindy, Jackie Chandiru and Lilian Mbabazi didn't know each other.
Cindy Sanyu's solo career began in 2007 and in 2008, she dropped her first solo songs, starting with Mbikoye, then Nawewe and Ayokyayokya.
