The Spain getaway that broke up Blu*3

Sanyu, who had always wanted to travel to Spain, used this opportunity, she said while appearing on Gossip Live.

They'd just held a concert, so they had some money.

However, Mbabazi and Chandiru decided to resume work after two weeks into the holiday.

Cindy urged them to wait a little longer but they were unyielding.

They were unable to harmonise. Mya Baganda was picked to replace Cindy, real name Cinderella Sanyu Munyonjo.

"That is how I became a solo artiste," she said in the interview.

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.
