Singer Zafaran, born Josephine Nakyoonyi, has parted ways with Swangz Avenue, ending her four-year association with the Ugandan record label.
The singer joined the label in 2022 with expectations of advancing her music career under one of East Africa’s most established entertainment companies. During her time there, she released a number of tracks, including Mwoto, Ankuba, Jeguli, Enafuya, Nakawere, and Otulo, among others.
Despite the releases, her progress under the label did not fully meet expectations on either side, leading to growing speculation among fans about her future with Swangz Avenue.
After discussions between both parties, a mutual decision was reached to end the professional relationship. Zafaran has now officially confirmed that she is no longer signed to the label.
In her statement, she thanked Swangz Avenue for the support, guidance, and opportunities she received during her time there.
She stressed that the split was amicable and based on mutual respect, adding that she is now focused on the next phase of her career.
“As I move forward independently, I am excited about the opportunities ahead and remain committed to creating authentic music and connecting with my supporters in meaningful ways. The best is yet to come, and I look forward to sharing this next phase of my journey with you. With gratitude,” she said.
