Career
He made his musical debut in 2004 with his hit single "Ganja Manitoba". Exodus was raised by a single mother, who died when he was 10 years old. Exodus had to join the streets of Kampala after being rejected by his physically and mentally abusive father.
At age 12 in 1996, he started feeding in dustbins, smoking marijuana, sniffing petrol and pickpocketing for a living around Katwe, Dewinton road and Owino market which was his base.
lieutenant was Kimuli who suggested that he visit pastor Robert Kayanja"s Miracle Centre church. "I wanted to taste this Jesus that was preached that day, and the following week I went back and gave my life to Jesus" said Exodus in an interview.
In "Once a Ganja man" he narrates, "Remember the days of Ganja, when we used to smoke Ganja" This single became an anthem in churches, conferences and even at secular concerts. The Once a ganja man single became so massive and it got huge airplay on radio and Television stations worldwide.
At his age, his first serious single managed to get airplay on Music Television base yet those that joined the industry years back and even have the funds to facilitate their projects have failed to have their songs played on Music Television.
After meeting Pastor Kayanja n 2002, in 2004 he became a leader and singer in the church choir.
lieutenant is the same year that Isaac Rucibigango (Rucci) recruited Exodus and two others, Bahati Nsereko and Kenneth Tusubira, to form the Sauti band that toured the Great Lakes region. He toured Tanzania, Rwanda and Kenya. While in Kenya in 2007, he left Sauti.
In 2008, he released his first song Ganjaman.
The song later became very big and it took over Uganda and beyond. He followed that single with Addicted, I am Walking and his biggest hit yet, Igwe.
He is now working on his first 12-track album. Exodus works as the Artistic Director and Peace Ambassador of the Irene Gleeson Foundation (IGF) based in Northern Uganda.
IGF is a charitable organisation taking care of more than 10,000 ex-child soldiers.
