Journey
Ugandan musician and advocate Maurice Hasa, born Maurice Muhasa in Kampala, gained fame with his stirring anthem, "Kaleke Kasome," in 2005. The song, inspired by a tragic instance of child abuse he personally witnessed, propelled Hasa into the spotlight as a voice for vulnerable youth. Integrating the rhythmic depth of reggae with the soulful melodies of R&B, Hasa crafts music that speaks to societal issues while resonating emotionally with listeners. The 'singing chef'—a moniker borne from his culinary background—has skillfully merged vocational skills with artistry, promoting self-empowerment among Uganda's youth.
Hasa uses his platform to champion child rights and education, notably founding the Kaleke Kasome Foundation in 2014, which fosters awareness and educational support in local communities. Alongside his musical accomplishments, Hasa's partnership with initiatives like Reach A Hand Uganda exemplifies his commitment to sexual violence discourse. Multifaceted in talent and passion, Hasa continues to influence cultural and social spheres, driving change through harmonious yet poignant narratives that echo far beyond Uganda's borders.
