I'm better than Sheebah on all music metrics - Cindy

"She is not better than me at anything,” said Sanyu when she was asked if Karungi has any achievement she beats her at. “We are on a musical battle. If it is still about music, she is not better than me at anything.”

Sanyu, who was speaking ahead of a joint press conference to talk about the Sheebah Vs Cindy music battle that is underway at Victoria University, was quick to note that she’s only speaking exclusively about their music pedigree.

“Unless we decide to talk about other things,” said Cindy, adding: “but that's not the kind of conversation I want to participate in. For me, it's about music.”

Cindy said fans should expect a show they’ve not experienced before.

“Expect fire,” she said. “What you need to know is that it's going to be massive. It's a show you've not seen before. That's why we are doing everything differently... levels have changed. we are on 10 after 10.”

There have been reports that Cindy will finish her music catalog before Sheebah exhausts hers, but Cindy said she will determine what she wants to sing, including songs released under Blu*3.

She also noted they’ve been rehearsing separately.

The Cindy Vs Sheebah music battle, which is being organised by Victoria University, will be held on September 15 at Kololo Airstrip in Kampala.

Who is Cindy Sanyu?

In the interview, Cindy said her mother is an Iteso and her father is a Munyoro from Masindi. The father died when she was two and she was raised by her single mother.

The Boom Party hitmaker joined the music industry in 2005 through a competition called Coca-Cola Real Stars.

She didn't win.

But she recorded a song called Time to Say Good Bye.

Participating in the first competition gave her the confidence to join Coca-Cola Pop Stars, which was organised shortly after. She was then in high school at a school in Mbale.

She came and participated and in 2005 Blu*3 was founded with Steve Jean, the legendary producer and owner of Fenon Records, as the manager.

She would leave after two years after getting fired.

She joined Blu*3 when she was in S.6., and she would balance school with music.

Before the formation of their singing group, Cindy, Jackie Chandiru and Lilian Mbabazi didn't know each other.

Cindy Sanyu's solo career began in 2007 and in 2008, she dropped her first solo songs, starting with Mbikoye, then Nawewe and Ayokyayokya.
