Her real break through into the music field came through a friend of hers named Sekibala who was a member of the virtuoso group, Diamond Ensemble led by Kato Lubwama.Diamond has produced quite a number of local pop offshoots like Betty Mpologoma (of the Big Daddy fame) and Mesach Semakula who is a staple on our local pop diet. Angela joined Diamond as a back up vocalist and stayed there from 1997 to 1999, in the process transforming to lead vocalist. She released with Diamond, her ballad single ‘Akamuli’ that was a public announcement of her arrival at the helm. She then collaborated with Abby Mukiibi of Afri-Talent, on the ‘bulemezi’ songs.
