Top 10 Best Singers In East Africa (2024). East Africa has had some of the best music produced over the years that has conquered not only the Continent but also the globe as well. Several music legends such as Dr. Jose Chameleone, Nameless, Sauti Sol, Bebe Cool, Mr. Nice among others have all been produced in the region.
Whereas some of these legends are no longer as musically active and robust as they used to be, there are new guns in the battle zone that have taken on the mantle. These release numerous hits every now and then. And when we are all of East Africa, it includes the nations of Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo and South Sudan.
So when it’s all said and done, these are the Top 10 Best Singers In East Africa in 2024:-
10. Spice Diana

The Ugandan songstress has continued to dominate the airwaves ever since her rise to stardom in 2015. Maintaining consistency and being at the top of her game is something that she has mastered. 2024 has not been one of the best musically for her but she has released a couple of songs that are doing well such as Wendi, Twookya among others.
9. Azawi

Yet another Ugandan singer finds itself on this list. It’s testament that the country hasn’t lost its grip on the East African music scene. The Swangz Avenue singer has had a brilliant year and the sky can only be the limit. She released songs such as Masavu, Summer Bae featuring Konshens. It was also this year that she released her Sankofa album with several hit songs.
8. Sheebah Karungi

Well Uganda surely is blessed with several talents and this means that East Africa is a region with countless tunes every now and then. This year has surely been memorable for the queen karma. Besides the surprising news that she is expecting her first child, she held a record breaking concert. Some of the songs she has released include Neyanziza, Wakikuba among others.
7. Zuchu

What would this list be without the Tanzanian and Wasafi princess. The singer has continued to release some good hit songs and this year hasn’t been any different. Some of her songs have included Antenna, Pwita among others.
6. Bruce Melodie

Over the years, Rwandan music has seen an immense revolution and Bruce Melodie has been one of the forces behind it. He has continued to deliver at the top stage. Some of his hit songs released this year include Iyo Foto, Sowe, When She’s Around featuring Shaggy among others.
5. The Ben

Another one from Rwanda on this list is The Ben. One cannot argue if he is considered the best Rwandan singer for the past two years as he has truly delivered. The Ben has released some hit songs this year such as Plenty and Ni Forever.
4. Bien

Ever since Sauti Sol disbanded, one of the group’s members, Bien has taken the solo career personally and purposefully. Almost all the hit songs on the East African airwaves have his voice on them. He has been on songs such as Extra Pressure featuring Ben Pol. Additionally, he also featured Nigeria’s Adekunle Gold on the hit song, Wahala. He has other songs such as the remix of Ma Cherrie featuring Fally Ipupa.
3. Joshua Baraka

The Ugandan singer might be a rookie in the music industry but he has surely delivered for the past two years. He has some of the best hit songs that are dominating East African airwaves. They include Dalilah, Jolene, Moonlight and Digii featuring Mr. Tee and Tenorboy. The sky is the limit for him surely.
2. Harmonize

The former Wasafi protégé surely doesn’t regret ever walking out of the label because he has surely carved a place for himself as one of East Africa andAfrica’s finest. This year he has had several projects such as Side featuring Libianca, You Better Go, Ujana, Sherehe among others. The Konde Gang boss is definitely a boss in the region.
1.. Fally Ipupa

Thanks to the new admission of DR. Congo into the East African community, Ipupa now is an East African singer although Congolese music and sounds have more linkage to West and Central Africa than the East. However, he has been sensational as he has always been ever since he hit the stage over a decade ago.
The Lingala singer has released songs such as Alliance, Pembe among others. Omitting him from this list would be an utter disgrace and injustice.
00. Diamond Platnumz

Woah guess I had you all worried wondering where the Simba would rank. But he has been the best East African singer for almost a decade now without competition. Therefore ranking him would not be news. The Wasafi Records boss has continued to prove that he is the best East African singer with each year that elapses.
He has one of the most trending songs globally known as Komasava with the remix featuring Jason Derulo. Other songs include Mapoz.
