What is Nasinzia?
Falling asleep. As I go to sleep, you are all I am thinking of. People have interpreted the song differently with some taking it as ‘you hypnotize me’.
Speaking hypnosis, were you high on something when you wrote the words?
I was high on music. Not substances!
We all know you didn’t write it for your wife Wahu. So who did you write it for?
What? Why do you say that? You want to cause me problems? Anyways, normally I write what I and other people can relate to. Thinking about that someone you care for and appreciating them mentally, physically and spiritually.
She’s been pretty quiet lately. What is Wahu up to?
She’s trying to work on her stuff. Problem with getting out so much is it hinders your creativity. And now she has to take care of our 3 month old baby. (congratulations! We didn’t know y’all had a baby!) She has stopped doing performances but look out! She has a project set for release early next year.
Would you then take turn baby sitting as a stay at home father as she promotes her new project?
Ati stay at home father? (Laughs!)
You won a PAM award and were nominated for an MTV Euro award. Did you expect these accolades?
Unfortunately I did not win the MTV award but I went and met many interesting people and learnt a lot. The competition at MTV was stiffer than PAM Awards considering I had to compete with people from Nigeria, a nation of over 120 million people and South Africans. Considering the selections were by voting, and the internet, it’s very hard for an artist from a not so developed country to compete favorably.
You seem to have spent a lot of time in Uganda this year, are you Homeless as well as nameless?
I just did a tour with a telecom company that went through colleges for 6 weeks. I also performed at Bebe Kool’s album launch. On the whole, it was just 8 weeks total but it was good for pushing my name and music in Uganda.
What do you like best in Uganda, apart from the girls of course!
Apart from the beautiful figured women, you mean? Ugandans are very welcoming people. I had a chance to go out of town to places like Mbarara, Mbale, Nkumba and Nkozi and the reception was very nice. I also like the Ugandan accent. Had started to speak like that actually. I also noticed Ugandans love to dress up and look good.
People who know you from school say you were very brilliant in your architecture class. Why did you stop practicing?
I did not really quit. It’s just that my music is more public than my architectural work but I still do practice. Drawing plans and all that.
Would you rather be recognized as a world acclaimed architect or world acclaimed musician?
I would like to be recognized as a world acclaimed artist. I like to create. I don’t like to be locked up in one place or in one field. Architecture like Music requires a lot of creativity.
What is the biggest erection you’ve had?
Sorry?
What is the biggest erection you’ve had.
(Silence) I beg your pardon. I don’t think I heard right. Biggest what?
You heard right. Erection. E-R-E-C-T-I-O-N.
Laughs out loud. Why would you ask such a thing? Why do you want to know?
Well, you are an architect and we thought you must have some structure that you erected out of wood, steel and cement that you are proud of. You know, like the KICC, our Crested Towers or even Workers house.

The interview has to stop at this moment because Nameless is laughing hysterically. The last thing he says ‘you are useless’! Are we really??
