Robbie

Robbie a.k.a Robinah Mukooza Kaggwa was born in Bwaise, a suburb to Kampala on the 29th September 1980. Her parents are Mr. Charles Mukooza and Miss. Mariam Ndagire (not the musician they possess similar names), unfortunately they're not together anymore but they are good friends and she can always count on them for their support in whatever she plans for my future.

Robbie moved to Sweden in 1985 with her father and has been living there for about 22years now. She loves Sweden but whenever she visits Uganda, she just does not want to travel back to Sweden at all.

She began singing at a tender age of 6 and has been doing it ever since. She started out singing at parties and for her family, the number one inspiration source for her at that time was Whitney Houston and she still is. She also loved Mariah Carey, BabyFace, SWV, TLC (as a teenager), Toni Braxton. But lately ever since 2003 she has discovered other inspirations in Idia Arie, Erykah Badu, Joss Stone and Kelly Clarkson.

She began singing in her school choir at Johannes School in Stockholm, when she was 9. She later went to Bussenhus School in Tensta. At this school she became even more active in the music scene. She kept on singing in the choir. Her choir coach always used to ask her to sing solo. She loved the BEATLES song "Yesterday" and used to sing in front of the entire school.

Her hit "Get Up" was written in Sweden by her and her best friend Surangi De Abrew Rajapakshe. They were just fooling around playing with words and all of a sudden. Wow, they had written a song together. They contacted their good friend Ishi, who at this moment lives in US and working with big names like Fabulous. He's the one who told her to try out the dancehall voice and when she did, she got hooked.

Vampass does dancehall as well so was the choice for the collaboration with. He is one of the best in Uganda when it comes down to dancehall. She tried to record the song with Surangi but dancehall wasn’t her cup of tea. So she contacted Elvis and he advised her to go to Fenon Records. Jackie from Blu3 also featured on the vocals.

When it was time to make the video I got in touch with Matt Bish at Media Pro and began shooting the video earlier this year and now it's out on TV Channels such as EATV, Record TV.
