Singer Diana Nalubega has dismissed the long-held belief in the music industry that marriage marks the end of a female artist’s career, describing it as nothing more than a myth.
Speaking about her own journey, Diana explained that marriage and motherhood only become obstacles if an artist allows them to.
She believes that a supportive partner and clear personal goals make it possible for women to balance family life with a successful music career.
Marriage doesn’t stop a musician who knows what they want from pursuing their career, especially when their spouse is supportive.
Even pregnancy shouldn’t be seen as the end. These days, artists give birth and continue with their work. That’s not what caused me to take a break from music.
The singer clarified that her absence from the music scene was never planned. Instead, life simply took a different turn.
I didn’t intend to take a break from music. It just happened. Somehow, I lost steam, and my other responsibilities took up more of my attention. But it wasn’t intentional.
Diana also addressed the growing attention her daughter has been receiving on social media, especially after appearing in some of her TikTok videos.
She explained that she has never deliberately tried to introduce her daughter to the music industry.
According to the singer, many people mistake her daughter for her younger sister because she became a mother at a very young age.
I gave birth to my child when I was still in Senior Four. Most people think she’s my sister, but she’s actually my daughter.
Diana further revealed that she stayed with her child’s father until their daughter was two years old before he abandoned his parental responsibilities.
She said she single-handedly raised her daughter and admitted that the emotional trauma she experienced after being left to parent alone made her hesitant to have another child for many years.
