Lydia Jazmine reveals why she ‘deleted’ Instagram photos

Born Lydia Nabawanuka, the songstress recently held a press conference to talk about her upcoming music tour in Canada.

She will perform at two shows organised as part of the Miss Uganda Canada pageant, an event arranged by the NGO, the Big Seal Foundation.

During the conference, she was asked how she lost her Instagram pictures.

Jazmine she said she didn't lose or delete them, they were archived.

"I didn't delete them," she said. "If I want to repost them, I can... I archived everything... because I wanted to rebrand."

Lydia Jazmine, who had taken about nine months without releasing music, said she's been working on a rebrand. Her latest song was released in March.

"It's been nine months since I last released music. My last song, Omutima, was released in May 2022," she said, explaining why she broke off.

"As a musician, you need time off to rebrand yourself, to rediscover yourself, rethink... and I organise yourself. I had my reasons. You'll know them with time."

Lydia Jazmine will be traveling to Canada for the first time.

"It's my first time going to Canada. I've been to different countries... I'm very excited to go there. I'm very happy," she said.

"It's also my first time to perform from there."

She will perform in Toronto and Ottawa on October 7 and 8 respectively.

On why she joined the Uganda National Musicians Federation, yet quit the Uganda Musicians Association (U.M.A.), she said: "We were part of U.M.A. but we start dropping off because of, among others, disorganisation.

"When I was invited to join the [Federation], I picked interest and I was curious to know its mission and understand because it's in line with my career and business."

She noted that some of the issues the Federation is fighting for like copyright are important for the financial success of a musician.

She said: "We are tired of earning only from stage performances... We are putting our lives at a lot of risk... It may not help the current artistes, but the future generation of musicians may benefit."
