Daddy Andre challenges Ray G to make Western Uganda success national

What the report says
Music producer and singer Daddy Andre is encouraging Western Uganda artist Ray G to think beyond his regional fan base and turn his success into a nationwide following, according to Sqoop Uganda. The story says Ray G has already built a strong reputation in Western Uganda through steady growth, bigger shows and loyal support, but now faces the challenge of winning audiences across the rest of the country.
Sqoop Uganda reports that Ray G’s recent concert at Kololo Ceremonial Grounds in Kampala highlighted that expansion. The show drew thousands of fans, including some who travelled from Western Uganda, and was organized by Abtex and produced by Fenon Events. The article presents the concert as a test of how well Ray G’s music is landing with a Kampala audience and a wider national market.
Daddy Andre is quoted saying Ray G should bring in more fans from different parts of Uganda. The piece says he believes this could be done through collaborations with artists from other regions, more performances outside Western Uganda and songs that connect more broadly while preserving the identity that made Ray G popular. The broader context is that many Ugandan artists build careers from strong regional followings before trying to scale to national recognition.
