Fast-rising female dancehall singer Cindy Sanyu is the new Vice President of Uganda Musicians Association (UMA). Sanyu was voted in by fellow artists after the seat fell vacant following the resignation of UMA president Sophie Gombya in July 2020. The then VP, singer Ykee Benda, assumed the position from Gombya who quit months into her two-year tenure to run for the position of Lord Woman Councillor in Kampala Central.

“Cindy is a fighter and a very strong person. I remember she was among the people that fought for artistes during the save Uganda music campaign,” said Benda as he congratulated the ex-Blu 3 singer for the win in the contest that attracted soulful Salute star Namakula Mary Bata, Kambere Nawe songbird Sarah Zawedde and Maama playwright Mariam Ndagire.
