Journey

Ice Kenny is at the forefront of Uganda’s cherished 'Kadongo Kamu' music, which emphasizes storytelling through sparse instrumentation and poetic lyrics in Luganda. Officially debuting in 2015 with 'Twekone,' Ice Kenny established his space in music with his expressive vocal prowess and deeply reflective lyricism. The song, touching on reconciliation and healing, set a precedent for his career. By 2017, Ice Kenny's releases 'Debete' and 'Butidda,' distributed on the renowned DJErycom platform, expanded his audience, earning thousands of faithful listeners. Though rooted in traditional themes, his songs mirror daily Ugandan life and societal values, making them relatable and timeless. Despite maintaining a low profile, Ice Kenny's commitment to conveying his cultural heritage and the real-life narratives of love, family, and struggle has endeared him to the Kadongo Kamu community and beyond, carving a niche in preserving this musical lineage while subtly integrating elements of afrobeats and dancehall.
