Iryn Namubiru: How I met the father of my 2 sons

Several artists, including Juliana Kanyomozi, her former bandmate, started their careers at this bar, which used to host karaoke nights.

On that day, Morel had come to the bar with his brother and Harry Lwanga, one of the legendary music performers in Uganda.

Namubiru, who was appearing on Sanyuka TV, mentioned that it was Lwanga who called her to go and talk to Frank Morel, who at the time was the deputy director of Alliance Française.

Their sons are now 21 and 16 years old.

Namubiru, who nurtured her singing skills from school and church choirs, would in S.4 vacation meet Ragga Dee who was a neighbour in Makindye and he introduced her to professional music.

A year into S.6 vacation, she met Frank Morel, who was deputy director of Alliance Francaise, with whom they now share two sons.

Iryn Namubiru didn't immediately join tertiary education after S.6 because of financial challenges, and she spent part of this period singing and that's how she met Morel. Frank Morel, who worked with the French Embassy in Kampala, also owned a band and she started singing in it.
