I learnt singing and tuning of my voice from Whitney (Houston). I get the low and husky feel from Toni (Braxton), but there is also a lot of Deborah Cox in my sound," she once said. "I'm a power ballad singer. I know the market here is different, but that's who I am. I'm not trying to sound like anyone. I'm Angella Katatumba."

Although she is relatively new to the Ugandan music scene, she has already been referred to as "Uganda's best secret" as well as Uganda's soul sensation. She has taken Uganda by storm with her magical voice. The Kenyan-born, Ugandan R&B ballad songstress is the only daughter of the Honorary Consul of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in Uganda, H.E Boney Katatumba and Gertrude Katatumba, who are the proprietors of AFK beauty Clinic at Grand Imperial Hotel as well as Hotel Diplomate in Muyenga, Uganda.
