Latest News | 2020-01-29

As the old saying goes, “Behind every successful man, is a woman.” Ugandan-British singer Christina Matovu has been the Rolls to Grammy-nominated musician Burna Boy’s Royce performances over the past couple of years.

The gospel songbird who turned backup singer to Burna, has backed him up at landmark shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jimmy Fallon, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, NPR Tiny Desk, The BET Experience and on the successful worldwide African Giant Tour, at which the Nigerian Afrobeats star sold out massive venues.

A church girl who discovered her talent in the choir, Christina went mainstream in 2015 at the UK version of P Diddy’s The Voice outfit, as part of #TeamRicky and her infectious voice even made Rita Ora emotional. Fast-forward, 2020, the curvy queen gyrates with reckless abandon, and heartily and softly sings those high notes which make Burna Boy’s husky voice pop.

 

Besides her work with Burna’s band, The Outsiders, Christina has her own R&B and Soul music, and her album is called “Heart Art”. Check it out if you love good music. You can use the affordable Pulse data bundles by dialing *157#
