The new First Love Studio

By Paul 'P-Tech' Mwandha

It was revealed in a previous monthly news letterr circulated by First Love that they indeed had plans of helping Uganda's budding talent. Well, it has come to pass that a First Love studio is now in existence. After just a few months, artists are streaming in by the minute and music is being churned out at a supersonic rate.

They have a rather modern digital set up with an Apple G5 computer system, a Mackie studio board, lots of proffessional studio mics, compressors, modules, processors... the rest is studio jargon that I wont bother you with. The facility is also able to record bands and choirs as they have a very large vocal booth for that purpose.

The list of artists who have recorded there is endless; Maurice Kirya, Viboyo, Angela Katatumba, Da Langman of Klear Kut, The Obsessions, Able 4, Dangerman Mosh, Sarah Zawede, just to mention. All operations are being run by First Love togehter with their long time friends and music associates Sami K and Fred Walusimbi. Fred shall run the studio when they go off on tour to the US this July.

They have very competitive rates as they don't want to scare away young talented people and Paul of First Love insists that what matters the most is the talent and dedication of the artists and the price is a secondary issue; as long as you are talented, they can work out something reasonable for you. They too have been through the times when it was hard to find a good recording studio or get a record deal and want to make things easy, simple and friendly for Uganda's future stars. They in the nearer future have plans of transforming the setup into a fully fledged record label.

The group feel this studio is their way of giving somthing back to their fans and the public for all the support that has been accorded to them over the years.

The studio is situated at a residential house somewhere on the stretch between Ntinda/Kalinabiri and Kiwatule off the junction where popular Rhino pub is, you know how bad Kampala is with addresses.. we will furnish you with a phone number in the near future for your convenience as soon as we get it.

Uganda cant complain and say we have no studios, so if you have the talent, what are you waiting for?

Truly yours,
