Fresh Kid’s promising career almost ground to a halt when State Minister for Youth & Children Affairs Florence Nakiwala Kiyingi ordered him to stop singing and return to school but would later soften, allowing the musician to have a special timetable for his music.
At Kampala Parents, a day school, Fresh Kid has a chance to pursue his music career and study in one of the best schools in the country, something that his underprivileged background wouldn’t have allowed him, if his talent hadn’t opened the doors.
Fresh Kid was recently nominated in the 2019 Carolina Music Video Awards. The rapper earned his nomination in the category of the best video for the month of April 2019. His song entitled ‘Bambi’ that displayed the ghetto livelihood in its video helped him get the nod.
