Born in Entebbe on August 26, 1971, Agatha's journey began within a supportive family environment, enhancing her education at St. Helen’s Primary and Maryhill High School.

Marrying Fred Kafooko, and later settling in Mbarara, she released 'Coming to Life' in 2001, kickstarting an enduring musical career. Her breakout came with the 2005 single 'Heartbreaker,' a collaboration with Tool Man, which garnered a PAM Award nomination and engraved her name in the Ugandan music landscape. Her album, also named 'Heartbreaker,' showcases her versatility with songs performed in Luganda, English, and Kinyankole. Her 2007 accolade as Western Artist of the Year further cemented her musical impact. Aside from her music, Agatha is a prominent radio host, renowned for her gospel-centric programs, balancing her role as a cultural influencer with a personal narrative of faith, strength, and family.
