According to one of her fans, identified as Faith Katusiime, a businesswoman in Kansanga, a Kampala suburb, they are looking forward to the day of the concert because of her talent and nice songs.

Fans will part with UGX 150.000 for VIP (early bird), UGX 200.000 for VIP (at the gate), and UGX 3M for a table of 8 people.

Namubiru has had a passion for singing since her childhood and has worked hard to make it a bigger part of her life. In 1995, she joined rapper DJs Ragga Dee and Molar-Messe, assisting in the release of a series of singles like Bamusakata, Mukwano, and Mukyala Tokaba. Her first individual single, Learn to Say Goodbye, also appeared on the group’s album. She had her first stage appearance in September 1995.

In 1999, she joined singer Juliana Kanyomozi, her former schoolmate at Namasagali College, to form the RnB all-girl group called I-Jay. The group disbanded after the release of their seven tracks when she left for France. In 2011, Namubiru won four categories of the 2011 Pearl of Africa Music (PAM) Awards.
