Biography

Yo, what's good, everybody? It's your boy Crysto Panda in the house, holding it down for Uganda, representing the hustle, the grind, and the never-ending pursuit of greatness!

Let me take you back to where it all began – Kabonera, Masaka district, Uganda, May 5, 1995. Born as Herbert

See MoreKityamuweesi, life threw me some curveballs early on, losing both my parents and facing hardships that would break most people. But you know what they say – tough times don't last, tough people do.

I knew education was my ticket out, so I hit the books hard, from St Jude Primary School to St Monica SS and finally St John's SS in Masaka for A'Level. Graduating in 2019 with a Diploma in Mass Communication and Journalism from Datamine Technical Business School wasn't just about getting a piece of paper – it was about proving to myself and my three brothers that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Now, let's talk about the name – Crysto Panda. It's not just a name, it's a vibe, a lifestyle. "Chances Are Yet Supposed To Be Opened" – that's what Crysto stands for, always keeping those doors of opportunity wide open. And as for Panda, well, shoutout to the homie Designer for dropping that track that inspired me to embrace my uniqueness and stand out from the crowd.

My journey into television kicked off in 2014, hosting a school quiz on WBS TV before landing the gig of a lifetime on NTV Uganda's "T-Nation." Yeah, it wasn't easy at first, but I turned those challenges into opportunities, becoming a two-time Buzz award winner and winning over the hearts of viewers across the nation.

But yo, TV ain't the only thing I do – I'm all about that hustle, that grind, that pursuit of greatness. Inspired by the one and only Douglas Lwanga, who took me under his wing and showed me the ropes, I ventured into the music scene with the belief that versatility is key. From "Kyoyina Omanya" to "Ediruma Abayaye," I'm all about dropping those hits that make you feel something deep down in your soul.

And yeah, life ain't always easy – I've faced my fair share of struggles, from the tragic loss of my baby daughter in 2020 to the ups and downs of relationships. But through it all, I stay true to myself, speaking out about the issues that matter, advocating for healthy competition, and never backing down from a challenge.

So to all my fans, my supporters, my fam – I see you, I appreciate you, and I promise to keep bringing that fire, that energy, that Crysto Panda flavor to everything I do.
