Bobi Wine
Ghetto President Bobi Wine
The self-styled "Ghetto President" is one of Uganda's top singers. Born on 12 February 1982 in Mpigi District, Bobi Wine (real name Robert Kyagulanyi) grew up from the slums of Kamwokya in Kampala. To make earn money to stay in school and make ends meet, he did odd jobs like laying bricks and vending water. With a walkman and a borrowed amplifier and speaker, he entertained fellow students for the small fee of 50 shillings (less than two U.S cents) each. And that was the start of his long and tortured musical journey that culminated into his first hit, akagoma (the drum), in 2000. In 2006, he won the coveted Artiste of the Year prize in the Pearl of Africa Music Awards.

Bobi Wine holds a bachelor's degree in music, dance and drama from Makerere University.

Albums: Kagoma, Namulime, Wendi, Bada, Kampalans 

Major hits: Omwana Wa Bandi , Taata W'Abaana Y'Ani Kiwaani, Ghetto

Bobby wine KIMWA KILO....Am sorry to say but i hate you with a passion. 
You have no morals and you over show off. You are so annoying. Its a pitty  
Ugandans cant tell poeple who sing to those who make noise lkie you. In my own opinion, i dont consider you a singer, you are just a noise maker. Real talent is in church. All you do best with you local village so called fire base crew is fighting Chamelion. Leave the guy alone.

i don't really know why people like sunshine, olanya, would wanna start casing people that they really don't even know anything about. you shouldn't start calling people names or even describe them because you wouldn't like it yourself if it was you. how would you feel?

ha Bobi is indeed one of the top musicians the country has got, only that he needs to stlye up and begin to target international stardom. most of his songs, if any are in luganda. bobi do it like bebe, pertemiles, jose and we will be competing with artistes like Dbanj,Sasha marley,2face,etc
