To be young and successful in Uganda’s music industry, you’ve got to have a skill and an art that makes you marketable and also makes you stand out. Lagum Owor aka Lagum the Rapper is a young pulser who has given his love and passion to music and this is probably why he is steadily growing as a Hip-hop artist.

Lagum started doing music in 2007 with a friend using Garage band on his aunt’s Mac Book. Little did he know that, that was just the beginning of an interesting roller coaster in the music industry.

In 2009 he gave rap a shot with his friends and together they formed a group called Elevate your music. However that didn’t last for long as his friends all took different career paths but he still stuck to his music. He started doing music as a solo artist in 2014 and released his first project ‘Gold and Socialize’ in the following year. Since then, he has grown and released a lot of music and he has also performed at events like Blankets and Wine, Lockdown, Shorts Na Lesu, Wizkid in Kampala and so many others.

What keeps Lagum going is his love and passion for what he does. He is currently pursuing a Degree in Sound Engineering at SAE institute in Dubai so that he can better his knowledge about his passion.
This year he plans on releasing 3EPs, a mixtape and an album.
