The Artist
From Uganda to the World Stage
Reinvention is sometimes the only way forward. When the world went quiet, I went back to my roots.

The Story Behind the Music
When the entertainment world went quiet — no stage lights, no live audience, no theatre — I went back to the drawing board, leaned into my Ugandan roots, and teamed up with Marlice Baart (co-writer) and DJ NLZ (producer). That is how Kyakuwa Music was born.
My name is Isaac Bullock Kintu. Kyakuwa is another name my mother gave me — it means "a gift from God."
I performed for a king when I was young, and the moment I tasted the stage, I was hooked. Sharing the stage with different artists keeps me learning new styles and pushing others to do the same.
"One Meter Fifty" — written by Isaac Bullock and Marlice Baart — won Best Social Causes Song of 2020 at the International Songwriting Competition.
