Today in 2018, singer Mowzey Radio, real name Moses Ssekibogo Nakintije was on his death bed at Nsambya hospital as the rest of the world was praying for his recovery on his birthday, three years later the world is still celebrating him.

Born on the 25th of January in 1985, a Ugandan music legend was born and people called him Radio, was a Ugandan musician with a distinctive art in writing and singing. Blessed with extra impressive vocals, he was undoubtedly the main performer of the Ugandan formidable music group Goodlyfe Crew together with Jose Chameleone’s younger brother Weasel.

Radio would be celebrating his 36th birthday today, but the man who gave Ugandan music so much life now lays lifeless at Nakawuka in Wakiso District, 6 feet under.

Days after his 33rd birthday, the microphone magician was pronounced dead on the 1st of February in 2018 at Case Clinic in Kampala, Uganda, from a blood clot in his brain sustained in a bar brawl in Entebbe a few days earlier.

Radio’s friends, family, relatives and celebrities in Uganda and outside the country still celebrate the lyrical genius’ birth. He clearly only stopped breathing, but still lives within his immortal music.

Radio at the time of his death had up to 250 songs to his name, was a BET award nominee and one of Africa’s best vocalists and undoubtedly among Uganda’s all time best song writers with more than 400 songs written.

Besides his good music, and close family, Weasel is another lasting memory of Radio. He is probably that one person almost everybody thinks about when the name Radio is mentioned

It is now 3 years since the singer last talked to his partner and you can imagine the pain he still goes through each time he wakes up in the morning knowing he has to face the day alone.

We Will Always Celebrate You King 🤴📻❤️ Moses #Radiolove +1 Legacy #MadeInUGANDA🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬 #RadioMOMENT
