Uganda’s Dancehall Queen Sets the Record Straight on Collaboration Decisions
Cindy Sanyu, Uganda’s renowned Boom Party singer, has finally addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding her decision to turn down Crysto Panda’s request to feature on the hit song Kyoyina Omanya — a collaboration that ultimately saw Sheebah join forces with Panda and create a massive success.
While many have labeled Cindy as one of the most 'arrogant' artists in the industry due to her selective approach to collaborations, she has set the record straight about the factors that influence her decision-making. According to Cindy, her refusal to collaborate isn’t rooted in personal issues with the artists involved, but rather a focus on professionalism and the overall quality of the project.
In a candid interview, Cindy explained that her collaborations are based on three key factors: talent, professionalism, and the project’s value. For her, working with another artist isn’t simply about friendship or fame, but about creating music that stands out and has potential for success. “I’m all about talent first,” Cindy stated. “The artist needs to bring something unique to the table, and the project itself has to be worth my time, effort, and expertise.”
Cindy also emphasized that financial aspects play a crucial role in her decisions, highlighting that a well-thought-out business plan and a fair financial arrangement are integral parts of any collaboration. “It’s not just about the music; it’s about ensuring that we both benefit professionally,” she added.
Despite her high standards, Cindy’s recent announcement of an upcoming collaboration with Western Uganda’s rising star Omega 256 has fans excited. It seems that talent and professionalism have aligned perfectly, as Cindy continues to focus on partnerships that bring both artistic value and mutual growth.
As Cindy gears up for her next musical venture, it’s clear that her approach to the Ugandan music scene remains as bold and unapologetic as ever — a true reflection of her dedication to elevating both her craft and the industry at large.
