Luzinda is a talented musician known for his unique artistic style. He not only writes his own music but also creates music for other artists.
Childhood and Education
Born on November 24, 1992, in Lugazi, Mukono District, which is currently part of the Buikwe District, Jovan Luzinda is the third child of Salongo Samuel Luzinda and Eva Nantongo. Raised in a family of business owners, with his mother running a motor spare parts business in Lugazi and his father working as a metal fabricator, Luzinda attended Wintson Primary School before progressing to Lugazi Parents Secondary School in Najjanankumbi, a suburb of Kampala.
Engaging in extracurricular activities such as singing and playing football during his school years, Luzinda displayed an early interest in music. Despite participating in these activities, he faced challenges in completing his secondary education. In 2013, his parents stopped paying his tuition due to his misbehavior and unconventional behavior.
This marked the beginning of a challenging period for Luzinda, leading to his departure from school and home to forge his own path. Facing difficulties in Kampala, he took on odd jobs, including washing vehicles and residing on the city streets. His struggles escalated to the point of sleeping in restrooms, seeking refuge where he wouldn’t be chased away.
Career in Music
Amidst his challenging circumstances, Luzinda’s mother encouraged him to participate in the New Eagles talent hunt program in 2015, led by Geoffrey Lutaaya. Despite facing opposition from his father, who hurled derogatory insults at him, Luzinda’s mother’s support and blessings played a pivotal role in his musical journey. Passing the auditions, he persisted in pursuing music.
Geoffrey Lutaaya, a seasoned musician, became a mentor and guide for Luzinda, teaching him how to sing, recording his music, and securing performance venues. Lutaaya’s influence and support significantly contributed to Luzinda’s growth as a musician.
While he faced challenges, including being removed from a recording studio due to inexperience and financial constraints, Luzinda eventually ventured solo after leaving The New Eagles. His breakout hit, “Emboosera,” propelled him into the limelight, marking a turning point in his musical career.
Apart from his musical pursuits, Luzinda is an avid football enthusiast, with Express FC being his favorite local team. He cites Ugandan singer and politician Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) as his musical hero.
