Sylver Kyagulanyi's influence on Juliana Kanyomozi's music career

For Juliana Kanyomozi, he started with Nabikoowa, which gave her a breakthrough as a solo artiste.

She had already made a name, having done her breakthrough song with Bobi Wine but this proved she could do carry a song alone.

Kanyomozi had already been working with Steve Jean who invited Kyagulanyi to pen the hit song.

"There is a way God does his things. He brings Sylver Kyagulanyi into my life. I already had Steve Jean," she said in an interview.

"I sat and he sampled it... I just got goosebumps. I looked at this guy and wondered, how do you write a song like that? And I knew there and then that I would deliver."

They went on to record a whole album.

At the time she was working at Capital FM and when the Nabikoowa became a hit, she quit.

The other songs Sylver Kyagulanyi wrote for Kanyomozi include Zaabu, Kanyimbe, Kibaluuma and Nkyanonya.

The singer-lawyer has also written classics for Iryn Namubiru (Nkuweki, Nsonyiwa, Nkwagala Nyoo & Omukwano Gwaffe), Blu*3 (Nsanyuka Nawe, Mutima Gwange, Ndibeera Nawe & Nzijukira), Desire Luzinda (Baswaze), Obsessions (Jangu & Weekume) and Mariam Ndagire (Kiki Onvuma).

He also co-wrote Basima Ogenze & Befula with Jose Chameleone and Tulikubunkenke with Ronald Mayinja.

In 2006, Kyagulayni wrote Ndi Mukazi for Sarah Zawedde, and about two decades later, it still has a cutesy and mellow vibe that transcends most songs released by women recently.

The song was produced at Good Enuff, the studio owned by the Ngoni singing duo.

It's at Good Enuff that Benon Mugumbya, the co-founder of Swangz Avenue, began his music production journey.
