History

Lot Fire Records was founded in 2020 by Bash Luks with the support of his family. The Lot Fire Records iOS and Android application was released in May 2021. In August 2021, Ugandan singer, songwriter, and record producer Jim Siizer joined the company's list of artists.[4] Later on in February 2022 Lot Fire Records raised $26,900 USD in series A funding round led by Dada capital firms.[1] In June 2022 the company launched fast forward - a tech service for music distribution. In the end of 2022, Jim Siizer uploaded his song "Kweyagala" (loosely translated as ‘self-love’) through Lot Fire Records.[4][5] According to the founder and Chief Executive Officer Bash Luks, he had previously uploaded several tracks which had not gained much attention. However, in the beginning of 2023 the company could see, through the algorithms, that "Kweyagala" was doing extremely well, and so they offered the artist a deal.[1]

Artists

The record label has been actively involved in the Ugandan music industry, collaborating with both local and international artists to record and release songs.[3][4][6] These partnerships have allowed for the creation of a diverse range of musical content.
