Before stardom, artistes had  to hustle just like the rest of us and many are not ashamed of it just like “Tonsukuma” singer  Fik Fameica.

He admits he actually sold second hand clothes which he hawked  from place to place, to his specific clients but not at the Owino market.

He says it was through that he met producer Frank of JahIive who was one of his clients and bought a lot of clothes form him.

“I used to take clothes to Jahlive in Makindye. It was there that one time I met people freestyling and I asked to try. Frank didn’t believe I was serious but gave me some unfamiliar beat and I failed on it miserably. But then I asked for another and I did well,” he explains.

Fik then recorded “Pistol” that was initially for his pleasure but it became his breakout hit.

Fik Fameica has released yet another hit song “Tobiloberamu!”. In true fameica fashion, this is feel good song with lots of catchy phrases that will get audiences singing along.

The song is Produced by sought after Artin pro. The resemblance to Twazikoze by Hit nature however is uncanny and some are wondering if at all Artin is starting to recycle beats.

Listen to it here and tell us what you think.

A money lender identified as John Kabanda is threatening to seize Fik fameica’s new ride a Pajero GDI for non payment. The money man seems to have been ticked off after seeing the “tonsukuma” star showing off the wheels on the internet yet still owing him upwards of 100m.

John kabanda says he gave Fik and his management a loan to hold their show that flopped terribly but he still needs to be paid.  In the midst of all this the lifestyle flaunt do t make him happy at all.

He has given the team up-to 1st Feb 2019 to have cleared the first installment of their debt.

We shall keep you posted.

Fik fameica is not playing around when it comes to making money moves. Since unleashing his brand new Mitsubishi, he is also giving us some brand new visuals for the song “I am Different” for which he released the audio late last year.

The young star keeps rising through the ranks to becoming the most sought after rappers in Uganda.

The video was shot by Dopest films and the audio produced by Artin Pro, which easily identifies with Fik’s rap music style.

The last days of 2018 were certainly not his best days as he had two Flopped concerts despite being one of the most sought after artistes in the country. He is here however to show that he is not backing down by releasing a new project to kick start 2019.

I’m different is a love rap song with beats produced by Artin pro who clearly knows Fik’s style and compliments him really well.

Another regional edition of the club Dome party happened in Gulu on Saturday headlined by rapping sensation Fik Fameica.

There were also performances from Gulu’s own stars like Okeng Borntown and BS Labongo who wowed the crowd with a taste of home-grown music.

The party  also featured several deejays who included DJ Ciza, and Dj Dash among others that kept revelers on the dance floor as they downed their beer.

Besides the music, revelers were also treated to several fun activities which included video games, beer pong, pool table and neon painting.

The next destination for the Club Dome is Mbarara.

Fik Fameica aka the fresh bwoy has his confidence shooting sky high over the course of the year because of his rising fame. He has now come out to claim that he is the most eligible bachelor on the streets at the moment.

Is it just about the music? Or does his influence and attractiveness extend to his looks as well?

Fik was rumoured to be dating popular TV personality Sheila Gashumba this year who is considered “high class” which we bet has also helped in boosting his confidence.

It is also possible that the hordes of several girls have approached him yearning for just a second of his time are there for the money and not his looks. But who are we to stop him from feeling his best.

With all his success, the lucky stars are still shining on Fik Fameica as he was chosen to feature on the upcoming season of Cokes studio.

The coke studio is a platform for African Artists to come together to create fusions of their songs and new music encouraging creativity.

Coke Studio Africa viewers should also expect to watch more than 25 talented stars drawn from Sub Sahara Africa. Some of these artistes include Wasafi music producer, Lizer, “2 in 1” hit maker Naiboi (Kenya), Winky D (Zimbabwe), Mahlet (Ethiopia), Messias (Mozambique), hip-hop heavyweight Khaligraph Jones (Kenya) and BET award-winner Rayvanny (Tanzania).

Fik Fameica will not be on a plane to USA anytime soon after he was denied visa to the Trump Nation.

The Kutama singer was due to perform at a convention organized by Ugandans in the diaspora under their umbrella body UNAA, in Seattle, September 2018.

When contacted, Fameica said; “Things are not good at embassy,” before adding that he will give it another shot probably.

Julius Lwebuga, the UNAA Deputy president says the singer applied for a wrong Visa.

“Fik has to apply for a Cultural Visa instead of a Visitor’s Visa,” he said.

Lwebuga however was quick to note that entertainment is a secondary objective at the convention, so the debacle that befell Fik Fameika is not a major matter of concern.

“Am not even concerned about that. We shall give enough entertainment this year but it not our main focus. It is secondary. Our primary objective this year is Trade and Investment,” he said.

This is the second artist falling short of the VISA requirements yet already advertised at the convention. Last month, singer Eddy Yawe was denied VISA following an alleged over stay in Boston a decade ago.

With Yawe and Fameika off the list, the convention will now retain artistes; Dr Jose Chameleone, Sheebah Karungi and Pastor Wilson Bugembe as assured entertainers ahead of the September 1 fete

The latest we have received is that Fameica was booked to perform in Kayunga over the Easter weekend. The hot selling musician, however had many gigs lined up for that season meaning that he would get to Kayunga late.

Instead of informing the Kayunga promoter about this likelihood, Fameica and his manager Karma Ivan pocketed the money and first went to do other shows close to Kampala before heading to Kayunga.

Luck was not on their side as they reached the venue at 4am when most revelers had given up and went home. He performed for empty seats and the promoter asked for a refund which they haven’t delivered up to now.

This even reportedly resulted into the detention of his manager who was later released after promising that he would pay the refund later.

According to the promoters, Karma Ivan and the musician never abided to the agreed arrangement yet they were fully paid. Fameica was supposed to perform at 11pm but singing to empty seats was disrespecting to them.

Many big artistes have at one time been in trouble over missing to perform at shows they have received payment for. Some have been beaten up while others have been sued. This is because some are just plain greedy or bite off more than they can chew when making promises to perform at people’s shows.

Artistes and their managers tend to pocket money for bookings even when they know that they will not be available on the set show/concert dates. Usually when the time comes for their performances comes, they come up with all kinds of excuses.

This same ill habit has landed musician Fik Fameica into trouble.
