Up-close with Michael Ross - By Julie Erusa
He started out dancing to Usher, Ginuwine and many more. He later released his first hit “Senorita” after that he never looked back. He launched an album and is planning on another launch soon (will let you know the details). He has just dropped a new single called “Yooyo”. When Michael was asked what he has been up to and why he has been so silent, Michael says, “I am trying to figure out how to make a good come back and make the right decisions about his career. I have also been working on my new album.”
About “yooyo”
When I first heard Michael sing this song I was not sure how the crowd and his fans would take it, they were used to the dancing purely English or English mixed with say Luganda or swahilli. The song is apparently doing very well and his fans love the new Michael. This year he promises the best. It’s purely Luganda and was written by Oscar Muwonge and was recorded at Goodenuff Records. This song represents a more mature Michael.
His Upcoming Album
This will talk about the different genres of music, an evolving and definitely more luganda songs. He basically wants to show the people that he can sing luganda and he proud to he Ugandan. The album will talk about his relationships, love and ups and down and the good and bad things about love.
