A Pass has revealed that his passion for fragrances has grown into a perfume collection worth about UGX 67 million, with the artist saying smelling good is simply part of good manners.

Alexander Bagonza, known as A Pass, says Uganda’s music industry limits artists by focusing on a few stars, arguing he would be among Africa’s biggest names if based in Kenya.

Ugandan singer A Pass says he’s selective about international collabos, citing lack of promotion from some artists but applauding Konshens’ effort on “Gamululu.”

A Pass is set to enter the fragrance industry with his upcoming “GOAT Perfume” line, revealing plans for two signature scents — a fresh aquatic fragrance and a warm night perfume.

A Pass has strongly condemned individuals who celebrated the alleged raid and assault on Barbie Kyagulanyi, describing their reactions as insensitive and cruel.

A Pass can make hits at will, but he chooses music with meaning, citing timeless tracks like Mariana and Wuuyo as examples of songs that endure.

Ugandan singer A Pass has stirred debate after naming Bebe Cool the best singer among the Big 3 — Bobi Wine, Chameleone, and himself. A Pass praised Bebe Cool’s versatility, saying his ability to perform multiple genres from reggae to RnB sets him apart. He also called “Love You Everyday” one of Uganda’s greatest songs of all time.

Singer A Pass has clarified his political position, saying he supports Bobi Wine as a person but not necessarily the National Unity Platform. The “Chupa Ku Chupa” star emphasized that his loyalty lies in ideas and policies rather than parties or politicians. A Pass also criticized Uganda’s “group thinking” political culture, insisting he prefers independence of thought over blind loyalty.

A Pass urges Ugandans — especially celebrities — to stop living for validation and focus on authenticity, warning that the need to impress others only leads to financial ruin.

Kampala Serena Hotel cemented its place as Uganda’s premium concert venue in 2025. Hosting Spice Diana, Sheebah, A Pass, and Isaiah Katumwa, the hotel saw record-breaking turnouts and memorable performances that showcased the diversity and power of Ugandan music.
