Journey

Master Parrot, real name David Sifaayo, hails from Kampala, Uganda, where his journey in music began. A trailblazer in Ugandan dancehall, he first made waves as a founding member of the Fire Base Crew with Bobi Wine. This local fame was cemented during his tenure with Leone Island under the tutelage of the celebrated Jose Chameleone. His breakaway success came with tracks such as "Ekikompola" and "Muliro Muliro," earning him a firm place within the heart of Ugandan music lovers. However, post-2009, after a solo venture with Spear Dem Crew, he faced personal battles, particularly with alcohol—which significantly impacted his career. By the mid-2010s, Sifaayo rekindled his faith, leaning into gospel music while retaining his dancehall roots. His return was marked by spiritually infused hits like "Wakyuusa," illustrating his personal growth journey. In more recent years, Master Parrot has continued to release compelling music such as "Kulabirira" and "Kalaamu," which resonate with audiences drawn to his narrative of resilience and transformation. His evolution parallels his life's personal turbulence, underscoring his ability to inspire change and deliver poignant messages through music.
