Journey
General Afron Ugan, born Seruwagi Jackson on August 17, 1989, at Mulago Hospital in Kampala, has carved a niche for himself as a dynamic force in the Ugandan music industry. His early life was shaped by the dual influences of military discipline and artistic freedom, being the son of Retired Lieutenant Mark Matooma of the National Resistance Army. Educated at Kikoma Lewin Primary School and later at Zana Mixed Secondary School, Afron Ugan developed a keen interest in music, inevitably leading him toward reggae, dancehall, and ragga genres. Termed the 'Pearl King of Reggae,' he not only crafts music that resonates across borders but also takes on leadership in the music community through the Da Ubens Quality Music Empire, a hub for emerging talent in Mubende. His discography features compelling tracks like 'Hand in Hand,' a reggae anthem celebrating Ugandan independence, 'Mr. Yungwe,' a dancehall song reflecting on survival and deceit, and 'Mumundekele Baibe,' a love song blending African, jazz, and big-band sounds. Afron Ugan’s contributions reflect the vibrant tapestry of Africa’s musical landscape, positioning him as a pivotal figure in its ongoing evolution.
