Speaking about the current music generation on Capital FM Uganda, Juliana explained that she believes this is the younger artists’ moment to shine and she is happy watching them express themselves freely through their craft.

“I think I’m beyond that,” she said while addressing whether she feels pressured to keep up with trending sounds dominating the industry today.

Juliana added that she respects how the new generation is handling music in their own unique way and has never compared herself to them.
