Love takes two to tangle but in writing it takes two hands and five fingers to showcase skills, brainy maturity and holding identical traits in the field of writing with other exception writers to excel.

Over the years, I have been jussling around with my introvert nature and characters for my fountain pen to remain relevant and has always been one of my best pricessless possessions.

I value it highly; especially for it’s thick nib to unravel periodicals and untold stories: about people, their personalities and lifestyle yet are visibly seen and read by many everyday including in their closed doors, laptops and smartphones globally.

The desire to meet people who have impacted the society socially and creatively aroused has always fascinated me my noose to meet people like Mr. Sylver Kyagulanyi.

The long and interesting pen; life which started years back in highschool; propelled your writer to engage the talented gem in his late 40s as well as a moving dictionary in singer Sylver Kyagulanyi.

At Sikia Studio in Ntinda; I’m so early like an angry lion to be cleared to meet Kyagulanyi and this is where I get assisted to inquire from my written project away from journalism: Tobanga Wankyaawa normally airing on airwaves including on CBS FM.

Things are as soft as kising a loved one if the meetings are on docket of his day Today appointments and the reverse is true.

As a musician, and at the same time juggling legal matters; the writer is so calm in his grey suit at 9am.

The lover of nature, literature and legal matters, Kyagulanyi has laid a solid foundation in Arts and creative industry in Uganda.

It is no crime to say, that he lives in his own creative kingdom and at Sikia the latter lives as a Prince in the palace.

The peaceful environment; free from early noise and semantic noise at Sikia, has paved way for Kyagulanyi to impact the lives of youths, men and women in the society through his prowess in music and creative industry.

Before; he starts off the narrative on how the creative industry in the country could eradicate the level of unemployment amongst the youths; Kyagulanyi grabs a glass of water to cool his throat.

From a distance, he moves closer into the living room encircled by legal and long life due books all he has read and benefited out from them before.

To him, Kyagulanyi reading and writing are natural gifts. One can be a good reader but lacks writing skills yet still if an individual can posses both then sky is the limit.

Kyagulanyi; somewhat is an introvert just like me and we are too identical in so many ways and being my uncle after my mother Ms Sarah Namagembe from Embogo clan this is obviously palpable that he is truly my uncle.

During the morning hours: Sylver Kyagulanyi create and re-create loads of things in creative world; writing semantics, poems and songs but evening hours are reserved for leisure while playing piano and guitar or even meditating on the earthly matters.

To cut the story short; Kyagulanyi realized his dream as a creative phenomenon in music and poetry work as early as a high school student.

Much as he holds all the requisite and credentials to perform his creative works, Kyagulanyi has been a revelation of Talent.

Sitting down and composing songs and poetrical works has been a natural gift somewhat aroused by Holy Spirit to him Kyagulanyi.

Kyagulanyi is happy and goes down to sit on divan or lean against the writing table.

Music instruments, creative books and guitar beside him. If one of the three is missing he’s sure to protest.

Altogether, being industrious has given the latter the potential to dine on tables with talented and business oriented personnel in the county to offer legal advise both in the community and the creative Industry. He is an encyclopedia on current affairs in the creative and social affairs in the country.

As he moves serenely to showcase how he runs his creative business, Kyagulanyi points on the placards on the notice board all writings of songs. These are neatly and accurately symbolic and written a matter that’s clear to any artist.

He has never before depended on anything if not music and writing songs and creative works to earn a living.

He has written award wining poems, songs and too sung for himself which has all impacted himself and now turning the tide to inspire the young generation.

”If you were to read my pile of letters and creative works one and another, you would certainly be struck by many different moods in which they’re written,” share a soft-spoken Kyagulanyi.

A father of three children, Kyagulanyi is a parent too who gets time to serve his family purposes too.

Kyagulanyi is as plain as moving river water to share how most of his creative works has been a subject of revelation to his life.

The songs both gospel and romantic genres are mostly personal experience.

This has worked miracles for him too to impact the youths and people surrounding him in the society.

For the creative works, Kyagulanyi says impacting the society is a must. Whatever one is going through in the spiritual and creative world, someone else too must be coursing through the same situation.

Life altogether is a subject of share and bonding to solve challenges and impediments a society might be coursing through.

It is a lovely weather outside and I’ve quite perked up my writing pad. From my favourite spot on the floor I look up at the blue sky and the bare huts on the left before I’m fascinated to look at the cars assembled in the parking yard on the right.

All these wealth have been a subject of total dedication and sufferings though gifts of continuous mediation on earthly things in the creative world.

”Music can heal the wounds and at the same time it can stablise the community. Poems too can change the lives of people in the community socially, culturally and economically if well guided and guarded. To me; all are a blessing from God,” shared Kyagulanyi.

Kyagulanyi shares that contrally to his usual custom, he will for once write more fully about love. Though still he is predestined to serve his purpose on earth by uniting people and preaching patriotism amongst the creative community.

”If you’re a team, you can be Masters of your audience. You see, few years ago, I started Civic online Television mostly to showcase whatever is happening in the community via online. The creative world today has adopted modern technology and if one is to impact the society he or she must go Digital,” Kyagulanyi wholly in brown spectacles shares with his eyes turning emotional.

The Civic Television (CTV) which the latter ponders about is a super news of invasion in all beats of Journalism but mostly breathtaking stories that impact our societies.

It is currently ran by a competent team in the creative world though he remains the Team leader.

Kyagulanyi says at Sikia Studio and creative family; they’re hoping to see something out of the world and do all kinds of exciting and inspiring things and all their services are subjected to negotiations.

”The economy has never been stable. Trace the historical tales of enterprenuers and masters of creative works like Shakespeare. In the creative way of doing business, it is condemned to be static in your charges,” shared a smiling Kyagulanyi when asked on charges of a written song.

At this moment, Kyagulanyi’s head is haunted by so many wishes and thoughts, accusations and reproaches.

” I’m really not as conceited as so many people seem to think. I know my own faults and shortcomings better than anyone, but the difference is that I also know that I want to improve, shall improve and Law fraternity have already improved a great deal in me,” The singer of Ekyamagero loosely translated as a Miracle song acknowledged.

As we traverse through the studio, amazing done with potential and capability and capacity to offer tranquil slot for creative works, the mood has changed conversely.

Everything is going on wonderfully and serenely music is heard from the booth.

A small dark room containing pianos and several music instruments leads to a small somewhat well littered second office.

All these are rooms for creative works. They’re all mulled well with woods to offer tranquil place and home for the writer.

It is the teamwork, energy and team cohesion that has walked Kyagulanyi to this far including crafting songs Anakusigula with artists; Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine to mention but a few.

The Author Brian Mugenyi is a born a gain Christian and a Ugandan Creative journalist, author and lover of literature and nature.
