Maddox Ssematimba

Maddox aka David Ssemanda Ssematimba was born in Kampala, Uganda. -- One of Uganda's Music Legends who have contributed so much to the Uganda's Music industry. You will find it so hard to compare his vocal ability and level of talent to any of the articstes ib the scene now - truth.

He attended Makonzi Boarding Primary School and Busoga College Mwiri. After secondary school he worked as a primary school teacher with “Christian Life Childrens’ Home”, a school that was one of those funded by an NGO called “Feed The Children”.

In 1991 he moved to Sweden where he lived for some good years. Maddox continued to breathe the hottest Reggae Riddims on the Ugandan scene. His incredibly unique vocals and strong message in his songs puts him in a stellar position when it comes to Reggae in Uganda, Africa and the entire world. 

His lyrics are prophetic, educative and the love ballads throw music revelers into frenzy whenever he hits the airwaves. Before his Ugandan fans were dry of “Namagembe” which became very popular and received massive air play on Ugandan FM stations, the riddim master breathed “Nakatudde”. “Tukolagane”, his earleir release which is loaded with serious riddims is still fresh and dear to all his fans.

His recent album “Abato” is no doubt unstoppable. All the songs on this album are unique, and it gets tricky to choose the most favorite song since everyone we have asked seems to point at a different song. This is a great contribution to the music industry. As an artist, Maddox ought to be proud of himself for these great albums.
