Renowned Ugandan musician Chris Evans has recently shared insights into a compelling facet of his career: his most successful projects frequently stem from collaborations with female artists. While he has teamed up with notable male figures such as John Blaq and David Lutalo, Evans believes that his partnerships with women have consistently produced his biggest hits.
“I think those ones I have done with females have been bigger hits because of a reason I don’t even know.”

Throughout his impressive career, Evans has collaborated with an array of talented female artists including Chosen Becky, Spice Diana, Sasha Brighton, Mary Bata, and Serena Bata. His partnership with Rema Namakula stands out as one of his most acclaimed duets, exemplifying the dynamic energy that can emerge from such collaborations.
Despite his enduring love for music and the joy of performing live, Evans has been candid about the growing pressures within the industry. What once felt exhilarating now increasingly weighs on him.
“I still enjoy being on stage, people cheering for you, but you reach a point where you feel like you want to do other things.”
Evans also bravely addressed some of the darker elements within the music scene, including ongoing rumors of witchcraft and other malicious acts. Such issues have contributed to both his emotional and physical exhaustion. This candidness serves as a critical reminder of the trials artists endure, even while basking in the limelight. His transparency not only reflects his resilience but underscores the pressing need for a supportive network within the industry to help artists navigate these choppy waters.
