Eddy Kenzo Becomes The First Ugandan Creative To Amass 1M Subscribers On YouTube
KAMPALA – Monday, May 18, 2020/www.gbafrica.net/ – YouTube – an American online video-sharing platform headquartered in San Bruno, California has honored Ugandan singer and music executive who is a member of Big Talent Entertainment – Edrisah Musuuza, known professionally as Eddy Kenzo with a Gold Play Button by YouTube, for amassing 1 million subscribers on his channel.
He will be walking away with the gold-plated play button that has been compared with the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, signaling its importance. An excited Eddy Kenzo broke the news on his social media pages expressing gratitude to his fans in the comment section for the overwhelming love.
Kenzo, who is best known for his 2014 song ‘Sitya Loss’, joins other but few musicians from East Africa, including Diamond Platnumz, Rayvanny and Harmonize, who have reached or surpassed the impressive milestone. His success can be attributed to continental collaborations with artists from Ivory Coast, Tanzania and South Africa, as well as a string of awards and sold-out events across Africa.
Two months ago, he secured top spot in YouTube’s top artistes in Uganda for the month of February. His song ‘Tweyagale’ topped the list of most played song in Africa according to Google, a parent company of American video platform, YouTube.
Some of his recent success includes winning the Favourite African Star Award at the 2018 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, and becoming the first Ugandan to perform at Afro Nation Festival alongside Wizkid, Burna Boy, Davido and Olamide. In 2017 and 2018 he was named a tourism ambassador in Kenya and Uganda, respectively.
YouTube recognises channels on its platform with the Silver Play Button (100 000 subscribers), Gold Play Button (1 million subscribers), Diamond Play Button (10 million subscribers), Custom Creator Button (50 million subscribers) and Red Diamond Creator Button (100 million subscribers).
