Maureen Nantume is a Ugandan Female Musician born on 18th April 1984 to Robinah Nakitende an onion vendor, Nantume’s mother struggled financially to raise her and her two siblings. Circumstances became worse when her mother died in 1996. “My mother’s death robbed me of any hope for a better future. It meant that my education had to be halted and the worst was that I had to look for accommodation. It is at this point that I had to look for a job that came with both pay and accommodation,” Nantume recalls. “After my mother’s burial some members of my mother’s family agreed to give my siblings to their families, sadly no one knew who my father was, so I was left alone without a single option,” Nantume relates. Up to today Maureen Nantume remains a pillar in Uganda’s music.
