It is with deep sorrow that we share the devastating news of the sudden passing of DJ Bush Baby — a giant, a pioneer, and a true architect of Uganda’s urban music culture.
Found lifeless in his studio in Entebbe this Thursday morning, DJ Bush Baby — born Michael Owori — has left a void that may never be filled. Police are treating this as a sudden death, and a postmortem is underway.
But what we do know is this:
Bush Baby was more than a DJ. He was a cultural disruptor.
From Capital FM in the 90s to Urban TV and UBC, Bush Baby was one of the few who didn’t just play the music — he made the music matter. He championed hip hop, R&B, and urban sounds when no one else dared to. He gave the youth a voice through rhythm and rhyme.
He mentored. He produced. He inspired. He built platforms when doors were shut. Bush Baby didn’t just break records — he broke barriers.
Today, Uganda has lost a pillar of its entertainment industry.
His influence will echo through every beat, every bar, every young DJ and artist he empowered. To the family, friends, and fans — our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Let us celebrate him the only way he would’ve wanted: with music, love, and unity. Rest in power, legend. Your name will forever live in the soundtracks of our lives!
