Vinka

Veronica Luggya records as Vinka, a Ugandan performer blending Afropop and dancehall who converted earlier roles as a dancer and artist manager into a recording career. She stepped forward in 2017 through the singles "Level" and "Stylo," then reached a wider audience in 2019 by joining Romanian superstar Inna on the track "Bebe."

Raised in Kampala, Vinka channeled her passion for both music and movement into performance opportunities alongside regional acts such as Maurice Kirya, Cindy, and Jackie Chandiru. After earning her degree from Makerere University, she devoted spare hours to an internship at the Ugandan entertainment firm Swangz Avenue. From 2013 to 2016 she handled artist management duties there for prominent roster members including Irene Ntale and Winnie Nwagi. In 2017 she reversed roles to sign with Swangz Avenue as an artist, releasing her first single, "Level," that year and shortly afterward uniting with Irene Ntale on "Stylo." The 2018 release "Malaika" marked her initial chart-topping success and paved the way for the larger hits "Love Doctor" and "Chips Na Ketchup." The 2019 duet "Bebe" with Inna broadened her reach, a trajectory extended by the solo singles "Love Panic" and "Red Card," both issued in 2020.
