The duo were friends with Lubega and it's him that connected them to Bebe Cool. He first met them when he came to the studio to record the song and he kicked them out not knowing they were the writers. They were even donning uniforms.

During the interview with Mr. Henrie on Galaxy TV, he asked them why they didn't join Gagamel and they said that Cool and Chizzo declined to sign them so they could grow on their own and take their time

"They refused," said Kent. "Chizzo said, you guys, move slowly. Bebe told us, you people, find your own ways."

Chimed in Flosso: "Which was right, by the way."

They look at both Cool and Chizzo as mentors.

Kent said Cool still tracks their progress and is always sharing advice whenever he can. Chizzo, who is a producer, is Bebe's friend and is now based in the U.K.

Kent Koojo Mugenyi comes from Fort Portal while Flosso, real name Michael Mungu, is from Nebbi district.

They met in 2008 while S.3 thought they were in different schools. They were connected through mutual friends. Producer Vad, who produced their first hit song Pull Up, encouraged them to start singing together. They teamed up in 2009.

They got signed to Sound Prints in 2015 and rebranded to Voltage Music. Their first song was called Blanket and it was released in 2009. They've since released a number of hit songs and collaborated with a number of artistes in and outside of Uganda.
