Renowned Ugandan singer Karole Kasita has praised Cindy Sanyu, Spice Diana, and Sheila Gashumba as some of the most hardworking women in the entertainment industry.
During an interview on a local television station, Kasita expressed her admiration for the trio, emphasizing their relentless efforts in building successful careers despite the challenges in the music and entertainment industry.
"Cindy is incredibly hardworking; she works as if she’s just getting started. Spice Diana is also hardworking, and Sheila Gashumba puts in a lot of effort as well," Kasita noted.
Why These Three Women Stand Out
1. Cindy Sanyu – The King Herself
Cindy Sanyu, also known as The King Herself, has built a solid reputation as one of Uganda’s most consistent female musicians. With over a decade in the industry, Cindy has continued to dominate the dancehall and afrobeat scenes. She recently won the UMA (Uganda Musicians Association) Presidential Elections against fellow singer Sheebah Karungi, proving that her influence extends beyond music into leadership.
Kasita highlighted Cindy’s strong work ethic, pointing out that despite her achievements, she still works as if she is an upcoming artist, constantly releasing music, performing, and growing her brand.
2. Spice Diana – A Consistent Hitmaker
Spice Diana, real name Namukwaya Hajara Diana, is known for her consistency in releasing music and maintaining a vibrant fan base. She has dominated the charts with songs like “Anti Kale,” “Jangu Ondabe,” and “Omusheshe.”
Spice Diana’s dedication to her craft is evident in her frequent concerts, international tours, and heavy investment in quality music videos and branding. She also runs a fashion boutique, showcasing her entrepreneurial side. Kasita acknowledged her as a go-getter who never stops working.
3. Sheila Gashumba – The Business Mogul in Entertainment.
Unlike Cindy and Spice Diana, Sheila Gashumba is not a musician but a media personality, brand influencer, and entertainment entrepreneur. She has worked with major brands and played a key role in introducing digital marketing and social media branding strategies to Ugandan entertainers.
Gashumba, who started her career as a TV presenter, has successfully transitioned into a powerful media and business personality. She has secured international endorsement deals, owns the Gash Luxe fashion brand, and continues to be a major voice in Uganda’s entertainment industry.
Karole Kasita emphasized that being hardworking is not just about making music but also about consistently building a strong brand, staying relevant, and pushing boundaries—qualities she sees in Cindy, Spice Diana, and Sheila Gashumba.
