Despite being an “Einstein” in his craft, Kamlesh Kagaba, is also a dedicated husband and father who believes in the family institution and also serves in his local church, uses his platform to proclaim the hope that is contained in the gospel of Jesus Christ and help the youth of this generation towards a path of transformation and empowerment.
Losing his mother in 2014 was one of the most painful moments in his life, an experience which sharply reminded him of the frailty and temporal nature of this life and thus led to the birth of the project “Breaking News” which is a project initiated by Kamlesh Kagaba in partnership with UrbanLight Recordings to highlight the various misplaced priorities we have in our society with a view to give practical solutions that can jolt us back to consider and esteem the important things in life. Several major artistes played a part in the production of this classic album, including Amos & Josh, Benjamin Webi, Ruyonga (Uganda), Samukat, Rigga, Kerah (Gospel Fathers) among others.
Some of the artistes who are expected to grace the stage during the launch are Holy Dave, Mbuvi (of Kwata Kawaya fame), the new urban gospel sensational quartet that is Recapp, Kamlesh’s label mates at UrbanLight Recordings, Patrick Irvine, Gregory XIII and Colly Kamili before Kamlesh Kagaba brings down the curtains with a live performance of the new songs off this new album.
