XPosure

XPosure is a brainchild of 5 students in their senior six vacations. The idea came up in April 2002 and the name XPosure was chosen of the many names which were suggested during the first meeting. We then decided to take on new members if the group was to prosper, which we did. As time went on, most of these new members kept leaving as others joined expecting big financially, this was a disappointment to them.

Talent, love for fun and ambition for celebrity status would best sum the drive for XPosure at its infant stage. There wasn't any big financial intention by the time. We were pleased by what we saw of XPosure for within the first four months of our existence, we managed to get the attention of the many and different secondary schools like Uganda Martyr's Secondary School, Ntinda View College among others.

As time went on, the challenges seemed more than the achievements, which forced us to sit and revise our prospects for the group, survival and success. On 8th Feb. 2003, we organized our first major show which featured our elders in the entertainment industry in the likes of The Obsessions and a whole lot of other local artistes and radio personalities. Prior to this, we had worked with quite a big number of local artistes, most especially the commonly known Firebase Crew hence getting fair marketing. This did not change a lot though we got compliments for the job well done.

We then set up for a serious tour in schools, which we did achieve. The schools where we performed include; Nakasongola Army S.S, Progressive Secondary School Bweyogerere, Uganda Martyr's Secondary School Namugongo, Ntinda View College, Seeta High School, St. Lawrence London College Campus to mention but a few. We tried getting shows in bars but we failed to work with the bar audiences because it was really hard to meet the demands of a drunk audience, which would have required us to do the dirty dance commonly known as the ”Kimansulo” which originally was not on the Group's aims and ambitions, hence opting out of bar performances.

With lessons learnt and experience gained, the idea of going corporate on low level came in. We began to go to big offices to get sponsorship and little was achieved through this. We got short term deals to perform on the promotion team of Mango “Live Like a Millionaire” throughout Uganda and of course starting with the launch that was held at Kampala Rugby Club ground. We also on some occasions worked with Tyson Waragi.
