After nearly two years together, Ugandan music duo Kataleya & Kandle have officially ended their working relationship with promoter and manager Ray Pan, marking yet another transition in their evolving career journey.
In a statement released yesterday, the duo confirmed that Ray Pan Promoter is no longer acting as their manager, ending a partnership that began during a critical rebuilding phase in their careers.
“We, Kataleya & Kandle, would like to inform our fans, the media, promoters, and the general public that we are officially no longer working with Ray Pan Promoter, who has been our acting manager,” the statement read.
Rather than framing the split around conflict, the pair struck a tone of gratitude and transition, thanking Ray Pan for his role in their growth during a period when they were re-establishing themselves after their dramatic exit from Theron Music in 2024.
“We sincerely thank Ray Pan for the journey we have shared together, the growth, and the memories. We wish him the very best in all his future endeavours,” they added.
The move signals yet another reset for the duo, who first rose to prominence under Theron Music before a highly publicised fallout with the label over alleged contractual disagreements and internal disputes. Their departure sparked widespread debate within Uganda’s music industry about artist management and record label relationships.
Their later association with Ray Pan Management appeared to offer a fresh start, helping them maintain visibility and continue building their brand independently after leaving their former label.
Now, the duo says their focus is on assembling a new management structure they believe will guide the next phase of their career.
“As we embark on this new chapter, we are focused on building a new team that we shall unveil to you in the long run,” the statement noted.
