LIFE STORY OF BEBECOOL

THE INSPIRING STORY OF BEBECOOL

Bebecool is a Ugandan music artist, singer. He started his music career at the dawn of the millennium in the early 2000s.

 He is a son to the former Minister of local government and former presidential aspirant Jaberi Bidandi Ssali.  

He teamed up with Bobiwine while still studying at Kitante High school and they formed a music crew that lasted for a few years. 

At that time, the duo managed to release some hit songs that took over the airwaves of Ugandans and that was the time when Ugandans managed to give some attention to Bebecool. 

But after that, they fell apart and each of them went their own ways. In those early years he started doing music with a group called the Ogopa Djs from Kenya where they used to record the songs with this Kenyan music group from Nairobi. 

Those were the years when Ugandans were listening to Congolese music that was popular at that time. 

Along with likes of chameleon Bebecool says that they used travel by bus to Nairobi to record songs in Kenya. 

He has been pushing his music career with consistency and persistence up to today.  

He later linked up with the likes of Wyre from Kenya, Nazizi from Tanzania to form the East African Bashment crew which was a music group that linked the three East African countries together musically. 

The music crew released hit songs that blazed the over the airwaves of these countries, African continent and the rest. 

Later the crew parted ways as a result of the time it takes for them meet over for projects, basically lack of convenience. 

Bebecool later came back to Uganda and set up his own music crew called Gagamel. 

His music crew has managed to maintain and keep the Bebecool brand alive by producing and releasing hit songs year in year out. 

 He has managed to win so many awards in Uganda among which are the Hipipo awards, Pam awards and many others. 

He was nominated for the Mama awards that were held in South Africa for his song called Love you Everyday that hit the global audience by storm. 

During the 2016 presidential elections he led a group of popular music artists in Uganda that recorded a song called Tubonganawe that was used to drum support for the ruling party NRM and the sitting President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. 

He says he did that as a way of showing appreciation since there was a time when he was shot in a place called Centenary Park in Kampala by Police and the person that paid his hospital bills was President Museveni. 

Due to the controversies that surround the awards in Uganda, Bebecool has distanced himself from the awards in Uganda and has warned award organisers not to include him in the nominations. 

Bebecool has mentored and supported upcoming music artists in Uganda among these are Irene Ntale who was once in Swangz Avenue, Rema Namakula.

 He continues to inspire more Ugandans into joining the growing industry in Uganda.
