In the 2000s, Washington Ibangit was Uganda’s most sought-after music producer. Ibangit started his career when he was a teenager, playing the piano at Reconciliation Ministries, a church run by his father, who is a pastor, in Soroti, about 400 kilometres east of Kampala.
While in Kampala in the late 1990s, his former high school teacher, Nicholas Mayanja, who was then the lead vocalist in First Love, one of Uganda’s most popular boy bands at the time, prodded him to pursue a career in music production, as there were just a handful of music producers in the country at the time.
