Radio 10 presenter and musician Uncle Austin has announced his intentions to quit the broadcasting profession and concentrate on his music. His daily radio show “The Overdrive” will be pined for by his radio fans, who have revealed their concerns during his last shows.
In the music scene, Uncle Austin is renowned for his hit songs Nzakwizirikaho and Gapapu.
Austin’s departure from the media remains a dilemma to many since it is through radio that he gained his fame. To clear the air, the artist claimed that his music had reached a critical stage especially among his fans. He gives that as the reason he intends to resign and concentrate on better music delivery.
“The music industry is doing well now and singing is my calling. I can feel it,” he remarks.
He further points out that he felt the calling when his first songs received massive attention from his fans, most of them youth from both Rwanda and the region.
Austin is quick to highlight plans for his music career. Topping the list are video shoots for his latest hits Nakuvala and Nzakwizirikaho due in two weeks.
The artist whose music is a blend of R&B and Afro fusion is presently working on his debut album produced by Kigali based producer Lick-Lick.
“Very soon, I’m releasing a new hit called Ndagukunda Nzapfa Ejo,” the artist says.
Reacting on his poetic title, which translates to why fall in love with someone only to die tomorrow, Austin sighs and declines to comment until the song is out.
He further discloses that his poetic titles are one of his tricks to capture audience attention.
