Early Life And Education

Recho Rey was born on April 5, 1998, in Kireka, a lively suburb of Kampala, Uganda, and raised by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mirembe, as the eldest of three daughters in a supportive Christian household. Her ethnicity is Baganda, steeped in central Uganda’s rhythmic cultural traditions that fueled her early love for music and fashion.

She attended Makula Day and Boarding Primary School for early education, followed by Namboole High School for O-levels, and Standard College Nsangi for A-levels, where her passion for hip-hop blossomed through school performances. Financial hurdles post-graduation barred higher education, but her determination steered her toward a music career.

Career

Recho Rey ignited her rise in 2017 by dominating the “Who is Who” rap challenge, remixing Feffe Bussi‘s beat with fierce lyrics that earned her the MTN Cypher UG Hip Hop Award.

She built momentum with street bars and features, clinching two nods at the 2020 MTN UG Hip Hop Awards alongside BigTril and Navio. Key hits like “Tweewemu,” “Guma Bakunyige,” “Seeka,” “Kiki Ekidako,” and “Kiba Kigwa” blend gritty storytelling with Afro-hip-hop flair, amassing millions of streams.

Under Invaders Music and Black Girl Fly Music Group, she parted ways with manager Apple Producer in 2020 amid growth pains, emerging stronger with empowering anthems that challenge norms and spotlight female resilience in Uganda’s male-dominated scene.
