Gloria Bugie, whose real name is Gloria Busingye, is a talented singer born in Rwanda but now making waves in Uganda. She became famous after releasing her hit song “Nyash,” also known as “Bankyawa.” The song, which talks about love and heartbreak, has become a viral sensation on social media, especially on TikTok.
Gloria Bugie is the firstborn in her family. She discovered her love for singing when she was still in primary school. She often took part in school competitions and was a choir member, which helped her develop her musical skills.
Later, she moved to Uganda for secondary school. Here, she met Eli Arkhis, a music producer from Route Entertainment, who helped kick-start her career. In 2019, she released her first songs, “Fire” and “Only You,” both produced by Arkhis. Over time, she worked with other big producers like Izo Pro, Yo Kuki, and Daddy Andre, who helped produce her famous song “Bankyawa.”
Today, she is signed under Hit Boss Management and continues to grow her fan base.
Gloria Bugie’s rise to fame has come with both praise and criticism. She has performed at major events like the Acidic Vokoz concert and Comedy Store, which have helped cement her place in the Ugandan music industry.
However, some people say she focuses more on showing off her body than her singing talent. One of her most talked-about performances was at Comedy Store, where she wore a revealing black lace outfit. This sparked mixed reactions online. In response, she confidently said, “Many people don’t have what I have, and many wish they did.”
In September 2024, she was at the center of another controversy when a private video of her leaked online. This incident made headlines and further increased her popularity.
Gloria Bugie does not share much about her romantic life, but she has spoken about what she looks for in a man. In an interview with Galaxy TV, she said she values money, care, and good looks. However, she has not confirmed being in a relationship.
Despite facing criticism, Gloria Bugie is determined to succeed in the music industry. Some have accused her of using auto-tune, but she explained that her voice sounded different during her Acidic Vokoz performance due to stage fright and poor sound quality.
In the future, she hopes to own luxury cars like a Kia or a Range Rover. She also wants to collaborate with top Ugandan artists such as David Lutalo and Bebe Cool. She admires Bebe Cool for his consistency and the high quality of his music.
Gloria Bugie’s journey from Rwanda to Uganda has been filled with talent, controversy, and determination. With her bold personality and big dreams, she is set to become one of East Africa’s most talked-about artists.
