After more than two decades of contributing to Uganda’s entertainment and creative industry, Julius Kyazze has received a Lifetime Achievement Award recognising his influence on the growth of the country’s creative economy.
The recognition by the Uganda Law Society, presented on November 12, 2026, in Kololo, celebrates Kyazze’s work in discovering and developing talent, creating opportunities for artists and establishing creative businesses and platforms.
The certificate, which carries the signature of Uganda Law Society President Isaac K. Ssemakadde, describes his contribution as outstanding, particularly in helping shape the growth and professionalisation of Uganda’s entertainment industry.
Unlike awards that focus primarily on performers and their onstage achievements, Kyazze’s recognition shines a spotlight on the business minds and industry builders whose work helps sustain the entertainment ecosystem.
His contribution over the years has involved identifying creative potential, developing talent and supporting platforms that give artists opportunities to grow their careers.
The honour also draws attention to the changing nature of Uganda’s entertainment industry, where talent management, creative entrepreneurship and sustainable business structures have become increasingly important to the sector’s development.
Recognising Kyazze’s more than 20 years of work, the Lifetime Achievement Award acknowledges that the success of an entertainment industry depends not only on its musicians, actors and performers but also on the people who create opportunities and build the platforms behind them.
The award marks a significant career milestone for Kyazze and reinforces the importance of investing in Uganda’s creative economy.
