Sitting down for a one on one video chat with singer Musigazi Abdul Aziz, commonly known as Vyroota, he took us on a life challenging journey of how he started hustling at a young age, studying on bursary's and running away from home until he become a Veterinary Doctor before venturing into Music.

During an interview with local YouTuber Shantal Mirrors Show, Vyroota, narrated his life story since he was born in 2003 in Kireka upto where he is today as the creator of the biggest song in Uganda for almost 3 months, Risk.

Having started his music career officially just a few years ago in 2020 when the first Lockdown hit, when he had just finished his Senior Four, Vyroota has proved that he is really a talented and versatile artist.

He opened up to Shantal Mirrors in a sit down interview and even at some point narrated how he was forced by peer pressure, poverty, stress and coldness to start using drugs.

"My father died at early age when i was in primary 4 and that's when i saw my mom becoming my father too.

After 2 years of my fathers death we couldn't manage to house rent so we decided to rent a kiosk where me and my mother moved in with our things from the bigger house we sold some because they couldn't fit in our new home but unfortunately when I completed my P.7 I decided to move out of my mothers kiosk and i started living in the Ghetto with my friends, sharing one room and they had girlfriends everytime they could bring in their girls and sleep with them even when I could be hearing everything. That is when I was exposed to the world. I started going to bars and using different types of drugs before I later on joined secondary and got half bursaries because of my talent in football good news is sat my S.4 during Covid and I passed"- Vyroota partially narrates.
