Public abuse is not something easy to deal with. Starting out, people made me feel ugly - Vinka (musician)

Sirubala” basically means "I do not count that day.” The song is about having that one person — if I don’t see them, I won’t count that day

I really love dancing. It’s my first love. Honestly, I think it was a calling. After high school, I joined Swangz Avenue as an artist manager. Then one day, my boss said they wanted an energetic artist who could dance. I suggested scouting for one, but he looked at me and said, ‘No, you’re the artist.’ I thought he was joking!.

My career is in a good space. I’m at that point where I don’t have to prove myself as much anymore. Before, I had to release song after song, and sometimes even good songs wouldn’t get much attention. Now, I don’t have to push as hard. The fan base has really grown, and I appreciate that. If you’re known in your country, the next step is to be known outside it. I want to be recognized across East Africa and globally — to spread my wings further.
