Back in the 2000s
the Obsessions was one let me rephrase that is was the
only prominent entertainment group it had the sexiest girls in kampala and
majority of the girls around town fantasized about joining the group.
They had solidified
their presence in the market as one of the leading entertainment brands in
Uganda.
The entertainment
industry in Uganda and East Africa in general is growing at an incredible rate
with customers not only demanded wide variety but also were willing to pay for
the quality entertainment they provided.
They put up numerous classical theater production at The
National Theatre and these included, “Princess
Miana, “Cleopatra”, “Heart of A Dancer”, “Legend of The Scepter”, “Queen of
Sheba”, “Before Adam & Eve” and “Return to Innocence”,” Spirit of the Sun” all
written by then Africa’s young playwright Ronnie
Mulindwa, Artistic Director of Obsessions Co. Ltd.
These productions won them theater box office records in sales
as they are professionally impacting and unique compared to other theaters from
other groups in Uganda by then hence their popularity.
They
were able to over four albums with eight tracks each all of which received
increased airplay on radio and were popular country wide and regionally.
Their mission was “to create a leading entertainment brand that
is credible and profitable” and they had a vision to be the leading
entertainment in the region.
The group was nominated for various awards for example,
Pam
awards Nominee Best Afro Beat Song 2006, Best RnB Song Wekuume, Best RnB
Group 2006.
-Pam

-Kisiima
Awrads Kenya Winner Best Ugandan Video “Jangu Jangu”
-Buzz
Awards Winner Best Urban Group and Best Dance Act, Best 2007, Best

The
most popularly known members in the group were
Jackie

Hellen Lukoma
Sharon Salmon
Sheebah Karungi
Brenda Nambi
Cleopatra Koheirwa
Despite the group having phased out they never stopped chasing
their dreams and they have towned out to be some of the greatest young talents
in Uganda.
Some
of the songs we danced to from the Obsessions back then were
Jangu
jangu, nod your head, dance with me, you and me, Wekuume,I Will Do, Feel Me, Bagala Twawula. Begoonza/ Feel
Me/Shake Yo Booty ft. Babe Cool/ Mbeere Nawe (Love Light)/ Napoteza/ Bagala
Twawula and also singles like; Mwekutte, I Will Do ft. Mr. Mosh.
Ambitions
grew and the girls all embarked on to solo careers and many of them have become
very successful, they have stood out of the crowd each uniquely and
extraordinarily .
Most
of their journeys started with obsessions and they have become bigger over the
years.
