His input in the composition of the aforementioned jams was revealed when Saha appeared on a show hosted by TV personality Calvin Kalule, popularly known as Calvin de Entertainer, on UBC TV sometime back.
Calvin de Entertainer said: "I'm shocked, the man wrote Valu Valu,... the man wrote Badilisha... I'm surprised Saha writes music for people, and he is not one of those that blows his own trumpet... He doesn't go around bragging about his work."
Saha chimed in: "Calvin, what you need to know is that there are smart people in the industry... One day you ask artistes when they come to your show, one by one; Chameloene, has Saha ever written for you a song? Kenzo, has Saha ever written for you a song?... there are artistes who know that that man is smart.”
He added: "What I'm good at is singing, the rest I can learn. You can criticise my English command, but in music, I don't make mistakes... I'm always in a straight line because I know how to sing.”
He went on: "Sometimes I also listen to music by other singers, and I'm like, that one is smart. You just give people time. They will surprise you and make you run mad... music needs time... I've written songs for many artistes."
Born Mansour Ssemanda, King Saha, who was born in 1989, hails from Rakai district and his first hit single was titled Mulirwana, released in 2014. That same year he held a concert under the same name.
