Juliana Kanyomozi received an honorary Certificate in Music from the Mariam Ndagire Film and Performing Arts Centre (MNFPAC).
The institute offers training in film and mentorship for aspiring filmmakers and youth in Uganda, encompassing film production, screenwriting, directing, producing, cinematography, editing, sound recording, and acting. Juliana was awarded the certificate at the institute’s third graduation ceremony.
Mariam Ndagire, the institute’s founder, stated that honoring Juliana was long overdue. She praised the songbird for her talent and for managing to broaden her fan base to East Africa and beyond.
“She has over 30 hit songs which have won multilevel awards in Uganda, East Africa, Africa, and beyond,” Ndagire remarked. “She is the true definition of talent coupled with passion, and we at MNFPAC feel that this phenomenal vocalist deserves a certificate in music.”
On her part, Juliana expressed appreciation to Mrs. Ndagire and MNFPAC for recognizing her efforts.
“This is so special for me because it is coming from a woman that I have loved and admired for so many years,” she said. “It is amazing how much time can fly because you look back and realize how much you have done, and it seems like it all happened in the blink of an eye.”
