    Singer Jowy Landa has moved from one management to another just like any other artistes and finally, she got to settle with 7star management. 7 Star Management is a music label owned by celebrated city DJs known as Deejay Roja, the other half of DJ Slick Stuart and Roja.

    Working together, Deejay Roja and Jowy Landa have managed to put together some good projects and some of these include Wire Wire, Rolex and Am Badder featuring Grenade among others.

    Last week when Jowy Landa released a Sh

    eebah and Cindy mash-up, many connected her to TNS and this led to stories of Jowy Landa leaving 7star to join Team No Sleep.

    It is confirmed that Jowy Landa has not left 7 Star but rather she is working with both labels. Roja’s 7 Star management has signed a contract to work with Team No Sleep to both management Jowy Landa’s music.

    The first collaborative project is titled Teacher and it is being released soon. The song was produced by Eno Beats and according to Deejay Roja, there are more collaborative projects that will be released back to back.

    For starters, Jeff Kiwa is the boss behind Team No Sleep, a music label that has managed most of the big stars of Uganda like Sheebah, Chameleone, Radio and Weasel, Grenade, Rodeny Y Kabako and Late Akay 47 among others.
