Uganda's dancehall artist Edrisa Musuuza, known professionally
by his stage name as Eddy Kenzo clinched the ‘Viewer's Choice Best New
International Artist’ gong at the 2015 BET Awards held at the Microsoft
Theatre in Los Angeles.
Kenzo became the first Ugandan and overall East African artiste to ever win a Black Entertainment Television (BET) Award.
In this new category, the votes were decided by fans which helped Kenzo beat two new
African artistes in South Africa's Cassper Nyovest and Tanzania's female artist Vanessa Mdee and
three from the UK: George The Poet (who happens to be a Ugandan living in the UK), MIC Lowry from China and Novelist from UK to take the
award.
Shortly after the ceremony, the visibly esstatic Kenzo took to social media i.e. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to thank his fans for voting for him. "Before I say anything let me dedicate this award to all Ugandans wherever you are in the world, it has been a long journey; it's the first of its kind in East Africa. This for Uganda, Uganda really needed this. To all my fans all over the world thanks for the support and the voting may God bless you. I am coming home God is the greatest" wrote the Sitya Loss singer.
Kenzo's song 'Sitya Loss' took him to another level internationally after the video went viral, it was captivating with well-choreographed dancing kids. The video garnered global attention and over 12 million Youtube views making it the highest viewed Ugandan video and fifrth in Africa as of last year. His other song 'Jambole' with the same kids dancing has over 2 million Yotube views.
BET Awards are organised annually by America's Black Entertainment Television network to ccelebrate African American and other minorities in music, acting, sports and other fields of entertainment.
The other African artistes nominated in the category "Best International Act: Africa" included South Africa's AKA and The Soil, Nigeria's Wizkid and Yemi Alade, Ghana's Sarkodie and Stonebwoy, DRC's Fally Ipupa and Kenya's music group Sautisoul.
Kenzo was welcomed home by a very HUGE crowd and his musician wife Rema and their aby girl Aamal.
