Empele, whose audio was released on December 7, was produced by D’Mario and mastered Artin Pro. Panda and Dokta Brian came up with the lyrics.
Singer and TV host Herbert Kityamuweesi, alias Crysto Panda, was treated to a riveting visual experience as he watched fellow TV presenter Sandra Lian Lusiya dance to his hit single Empele.

The song’s name comes from a dance move that originated in Masaka district where Panda hails from.
Lusiya danced to the groovy ballad during Sanyuka TV Egabudde, and in the video shared by Sanyuka on Twitter, she can be seen pulling beautiful strokes. Panda later joins her on stage to drink in the performance.
Panda, who holds a Diploma in Mass Communication from Datamine Technical Business School, started his TV career with WBS TV in 2014 where he hosted a quiz show, before switching to NTV's T-nation in 2015.

In 2018, he ventured into music, releasing his first hit single Asht featuring The Ben and Beenie Gunter. He dropped another single featuring Mun G titled Kampala Takoma in 2019.
Despite releasing some well-received ballads, he has been criticized for taking the Mun G route of tend-jacking, that is, relying on trending topics to come up with song titles but when the lyrics lack depth.
Some of his famous songs include Ki Uganda Kinyuma, Kyoyina Omanya, Bino, Balumye, Tubinyumisa, Tuli Mu Struggle, and Monica.
Away from singing and TV hosting, Panda also hosts events targetting high school students. The Panda TurnUp event is held during holidays.
