Media personality Edwin Katamba, also known as MC Kats, is a passionate supporter of Ugandan music. Having invested in the arts for years, he continues to work tirelessly for the industry's success.
MC Kats sees immense potential in Joshua Baraka, believing the rising star is currently the biggest name in the music industry.
He has publicly called on the government to sponsor Baraka's career with one billion Uganda shillings. MC Kats believes this funding would help Baraka create more music projects and boost his promotional efforts.
"Government should sponsor this man's career with just a billion shillings," he wrote on a video circulating on TikTok.
Joshua Baraka has given other Ugandan artists hope of achieving international success. He is currently the most booked Ugandan artist outside of the country and continues to make significant strides in the United Kingdom and the USA.
His song, "Wrong Places," is the most streamed Ugandan song this year across various platforms, and he also receives extensive airplay in countries like Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya.
