BRIAN WADE

He was, raised in the hoods and streets of Kampala where he faced lots of challenges and problems .his father abandoned the family and decided to live with the another wife. Because of that scenario, after his primary school he had no school fees to extend him to other levels of Education. He lost hope and got involved in peer groups which filled him with violence and a merciless heart. But his mother was a strong Christian who believed in Jesus for a miracle to happen because he wanted his son to get back to school. Regardless of the fact that she was broke she kept on praying and fasting for a miracle from Jesus. Brian Wade had no faith and didn’t know how the God of her mum is going to save him. Later on, GOD used a friend to Brian wade’s mother who took Brian Wade to join a foster home in Nansana (Uganda), where he found a number of teens his age and youths of the same levels. Where they were given food and shelter plus school fees and so he joined high school. Later on, the home collapsed due to inappropriate management of the initiator whereby he used to take advantage over the kids in the home and also making it a business venture yet it was a sponsored NGO. Brian Wade and other boys were taken up by another foster home known as BIOJEMMSS which had its main headquarters in Rukungiri district found in western Uganda where he lived and finished his High school. HIS Journey was not a walk over with the foster homes, he faced a lot of challenges in such a way that he couldn’t pursue his dreams as a rapper because none of the foster homes supported him with effort. They only commented and responded with smiles. However, Brian Wade didn’t fall back on his dream he went on doing what he loved even though nobody supported and liked what he was doing. During his HIGH school, it is said that he originated beat juggling, cyphers and battles at his former school with one of his close friends G.Tones where he became famous with a bunch of friends who had the same love for rap and beat juggling on school desks which always happened after lessons on every Saturday evening. Brian Wade started recording secular songs, but seems that time he was competing with everybody because he did various genres of music fused with rap. And later on when he called himself I.P.4.U which stood for I pray For You and decided to do gospel rap So everyone in High school started to call him I.P, The name I.P spread even at the foster home his brothers and sisters started to call him I.P.

Brian Wade started recording Christian songs when he was at high school that was in his fourth year .his first single known as Bow down for you which he recorded at a friend studio in Rukungiri (western Uganda) where it had lots of air play on radio and it became a peoples favourite when it came to rap more especially by the youths who liked dancing. It had an extraordinary kind of beat. Brian was also featured in the Red Cross youth fan Fellowships which took place in Rukungiri town almost every year as a performing artiste by the Red Cross management in Rukungiri. He went on recording more and receiving air play more especially on his first album which he called ‘’Versatile’ ’until when he left Rukungiri (western Uganda) after high school and moved back to Kampala the capital city of Uganda which is his home city currently.

Brian wade started his Journey from Kampala as a serious gospel artiste, where he found a lot of fellow gospel artistes who did it like him and so he started working with some of them, even though he found lot of challenges within the Christian gospel fraternity in terms of costs, relationship and trust. He found hard time to record a number of songs, because Kampala was expensive and getting a song to play to the radio. Was so difficult. But with faith and prayer he kept on praying to God so that any opportunity can come in and he gets away of recording his song as a minister of God. Later on he joined a clique known as Kingdom Business Africa. Where God planted him so that he could start recording songs for his ministry. He has managed to record a couple of songs. Which most of them have featured on Uganda’s favourite radios being among the top ten and also featuring on radio playlists. More especially on gospel radio stations.

Brian wade music has featured on different musical sites such as reverbnation.com, soundcloud.com, wemixent.com,www.djskamzac.com. He has also worked with various Dj’s in Uganda to release a mix tape, and his mix tape ‘’Achievers & Believers’’ has influenced a lot of youths in Uganda which has also increased on Gods favour towards him.

And now on he keeps on preaching the truth of the lord Jesus Christ who is his personal saviour. He has lead himself to a straight path of Christ through Hip Hop music that he chose to do for Christ and so he is a strong and known minister of Jesus in Uganda.

He is a staunch Christian Rap/Positive Artiste and ready to represent and preach Christ to every corner of the world in order to change the world
