Eth Lawinsky Crowned Sanyu FM’s Hot Mic Search Champion

Ethan Kavuma better known as Eth Lawinsky has been declared winner of the Sanyu FM’s Hot Mic Search competition.

The “mwoli” singer beat other nine finalists to secure the 3M shillings grand prize and a 2-year presenter contract at Sanyu FM.

The search which was launched last month attracted over 1,300 entries.

The other finalists include Timothy Code, Keith Karuhuura, Philo Mena, Kyle Duncan, Sandra Cope, Mami Deb, Stella Nanye, Immy Namanya and Harris Mukiibi.

The hot mic search was announced last month in a bid to scoop some of the raw, undiscovered talent in the country. 

Roger Mugisha the new program’s director at Sanyu FM says the radio management realized the need to mentor potential candidates for radio in an era where presenters seem to be recycled from one station to another.

Mugisha explained that young people are not mentored to take over from those that have been in the industry for so long.
