Early Life and Education of Vinka – Vero Luggya
At 25 years old, Vero Luggya, professionally known as Vinka, holds a bachelor's degree in tourism from Makerere University. During her tenure at Swangz Avenue in Muyenga, she served as Irene Ntale's artist manager.
Following the release of their collaborative track "Stylo," Vero Luggya and Irene Ntale encountered discord, leading to their parting ways. Since then, Vinka has risen as a prominent musician, delivering hits like "Malaika," "Only Love You," "In the Mood," and "Overdose."
Musical Journey
Prior to embarking on her singing career, Vinka managed Irene Ntale, a renowned Ugandan female artist. However, disagreements over financial matters prompted them to pursue separate paths.
This pivotal moment saw Irene Ntale departing from Swangz Avenue, a label instrumental in propelling her songs like "Sembera" and "Gyobera" to the pinnacle of success. Subsequently, Vinka transitioned into singing, with the support of Benon Mugumya's record label, Swangz Avenue, commencing in January 2017.
Her debut single, "Stylo," made waves despite its suggestive undertones, earning her widespread recognition in the realm of Ugandan music. Vinka's subsequent releases, including "Malaika," received heavy rotation on popular radio and TV stations.
