Aziz Azion

Aziz music takes on the R&B music style with noticeable influences from Afrobeat and Afropop. He is currently signed to Shotym Music Entertainment, his own music label which he founded in 2020 with a goal of taking his music career to the next level. He learned how to play the guitar in 1998 in a local Kadongo Kamu band called 'Makuge Kandongo Kamu group'.[1] He later joined late Paulo Kafeero's group called Kulabako Guitar Singer,[2] where he spent one year and a half before moving to Kato Lubwama’s Diamond Productions for two years. He then joined Eagles’ production where he spent a couple of months before he and his bandmates agreed to form a band that would play for all artists thus the formation of Jeckaki Band. Aziz backed up instrumentally in the band where he was a back up guitarist for a number of big names in music such as Jose Chameleon.[3] Their first international stage performance was in 2005 during Chameleon's European tour. Jeckaki performed with Jose Chameleon in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and Finland.[4]

However, his music breakthrough came in 2008 following the release of his hit single, 'Nkumila Omukwano'.[5] The singer has collaborated with artists like GNL Zamba on the R&B/Hip hop-driven 'Nakupenda', which was featured on his "Wampisa" album,[6] Juliana, Goodlyfe, Mariam Ndagire, GNL, Swangz Avenue, Rabadaba and Pastor Wilson Bugembe.[7]

In 2011, Azion released his second music album Oxygen at Kati Kati, Calendar Rest Hotel, and KK beach. The album included songs like Oxygen and Baliwa.
