Thesecond on SoundBetter

with over 50 songs written and released on streaming platforms under stage name "Thesecond" I'm constantly creating music

I'm a musician (composer & singer/songwriter) from Entebbe, Uganda. I make my music in both English and Luganda( Uganda's local language) and have a decent catalogue of music out on streaming platforms (all written by me) under my stage name "Thesecond". I also compose music (melodies) and I'm confident in my songwriting skills. Hire me for great music composition and songwriting, I'm also interested in learning more about music production.

My terms are; I keep 20% of the royalties generated from the project I'm hired for, but can also negotiate sale of full rights

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
