Non-notable musician, there is no coverage of this person in RS. What's used for sourcing is simply confirmation of what they do. Oaktree b (talk) 15:28, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:TOOSOON, at least. He has media coverage but it is almost entirely from unreliable entertainment gossip sites that reprint management's promotional announcements or provide space for uncritical softball interviews. This is common for beginners in African music, as we've seen here hundreds of times, and the quantity of sources does not add up to quality. A blurb site that calls a beginner "Ugandan Music's Next Big Thing" is enthusiastic but untrustworthy. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:06, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
