TAKEAWAYS

• Ugandan star Pia Pounds finally broke her two-year writer’s block after moving to the U.S. to find her creative soul.
• The singer says she feels right at home in America and has an almost finished album with world-class production.
• Pia is officially touring the states, kicking things off in Denver before heading to Boston on November 14.

Ugandan musician Pia Pounds has revealed how relocating to the United States has helped her overcome a prolonged creative slump and rediscover her passion for music.

The singer, who had taken a step back from music while still in Uganda, says the move has given her an opportunity to reset, improve her craft and rebuild her artistic identity.

Pia says she felt an immediate sense of belonging upon arriving in America, describing the experience as discovering a part of herself that had been waiting to emerge.

“It felt like home. It felt like I belonged. As if some version of me had been locked away all my life waiting for me to be here,” she said.

The musician explained that she had struggled with writer’s block for about two years, during which she found it difficult to write songs or sing, leaving her motivation for music at an all-time low.

Determined to regain her creative spark, Pia challenged herself to learn a new instrument and practise every day. She said it took about three months before she began to feel creatively renewed.

“My writer’s block vanished. I just felt so free,” she said, revealing that she now has an album that is almost ready, featuring what she described as world-class production.

Pia added that her ambition is to improve her music, fashion, presentation and overall brand while representing Uganda on the international stage.

“I’m trying to be better than I was yesterday, and I’m trying to enjoy the journey,” she said, describing the challenges and successes of the transition as part of a process she believes will end in glory.

Beyond the studio, the singer has also begun performing in different American states, starting her US tour in Denver, where she said she received a warm welcome.

She announced that her next performance would be in Boston on November 14, urging fans to follow her Instagram page for updates on upcoming tour dates.

Pia’s move marks a new chapter in her career as she seeks to rebuild her creative momentum and expand her music beyond Uganda’s borders.
