But having been in the industry for the past 12 years, Karungi says she thought it fit to start teaching other artists through her own experience.

“A hustler like me who was once a dancer and they said I wouldn't make it; I left karaoke and joined the Obsessions they said it won't be possible; even up to now they still say it is impossible but look where I am baby.

“I want to teach you what I have learned in the business I have been in since I was 14.”
