Renowned singer Melody Uganda, real name Kakooza Manson is seriously considering retiring from music and concentrating on his own personal businesses.
In an interview with Galaxy TV, the ‘Nkoleki’ hitmaker who has so far released three studio albums feels it is time for him to stop doing music out of pressure as he is looking at investing his time into other fields.
According to Melody, his decision is highly influenced by the rate at which the industry is going downhill and he feels he cannot keep up.
“I want to retire in music with my three albums. The industry is going downhill and I want to give my fans what I can before I let it go. I have other things I want to do; I want to diversify my career other than just singing and performing,” he said.
Melody also revealed that his decision to step away from music was to give chance to the youngsters to shine and make some money from the industry.
“I will not be doing music under pressure anymore but release a song when I feel like it. There are very many youngsters coming up in the industry and you have to create room for them. I cannot imagine being in the studio struggling to make a song at the same time with Abba Marcus,” Melody said.
Melody also revealed his plans to hold an exclusive concert where attendees will be required to pay for their invites.

Melody’s career began over a decade ago when he won Bobi Wine’s talent search competition, but unfortunately, the promised opportunities were never fulfilled. He was later discovered and signed by music promoter Sipapa under Sipapa Entertainment who financed his ‘Nkoleki’ collaboration with Jose Chameleone, leading to a hit song.
