Eddy Kenzo is a self-confessed hustler who has taken himself from the ghetto to the very top of the African music scene. He was just three years old when his mother died, leaving him and his brother to fend for themselves. But a natural instinct to entertain led the teenage Kenzo on a career path that recently saw his image plastered on a billboard in New York's Times Square - a giant manifestation of his position as an international superstar.

He chats to DJ Edu about his upbringing on the streets of Uganda, and how his videos have helped to turn some of the next generation of street kids into social media stars. He also talks about his positive attitude to life and reveals how he worked on his latest collaboration after being stranded in Ivory Coast for five months because of the pandemic.
