Lot Fire Records Signs Jim Siizer, Marking Label’s First Formal Contract

Central Uganda-based label Lot Fire Records has officially signed singer-songwriter Jim Siizer (Nsobya James) to a formal contract. This move marks a notable departure for the label, which has historically operated through informal mentorships and verbal agreements rather than legal bindings.

​Founded by artist Bash Luks, Lot Fire Records has established itself as a staple in the regional entertainment industry by focusing on talent development. Despite years of activity, the label had famously avoided formal contracts with its roster—a practice that had long been a point of discussion among industry insiders.

​The signing of Jim Siizer signals a new era for the company as it looks to professionalize its operations and expand its reach within the East African market.

​Jim Siizer, who initially entered the industry as a dancehall artist, has steadily transitioned into a more versatile singer-songwriter. Known for his previous album Kusinza Businza, Siizer has built a reputation through performances at various local and regional events.

​The label has expressed that this partnership is aimed at elevating Siizer’s profile, moving beyond his underground roots toward a broader, international audience.

​New Music: "Kweyagala"

​Marking his debut under the new management, Jim Siizer has released his latest project, "Kweyagala." 

The track details include:

​Songwriter: SongBoss Create

​Producer: Killer Beats

​Post-Production: Lot Fire Records Recording Studio

​The release is being positioned as a showcase of Siizer’s evolving sound and his reputation for being a grounded, collaborative artist.

With a formal structure now behind him, industry watchers are curious to see how the partnership will impact his trajectory in the competitive East African music landscape.
