Patoranking’s debut album “God Over Everything” released in 2016, introduced Ugandan audiences to his style of music delivered in Nigerian pidgin. Since then, he has collaborated with various local musicians, most notably Fik Famaika on ‘Omu Bwati’, Jose Chameleone on ‘Only You’ and Eddy Kenzo on ‘Royal’.
The singer is up for the Album of the Year in Africa accolade at the 2019 All Africa Music Awards for his Sophomore album, Wilmer. The 12-track album was released in May 2019 and features Kenya’s Nyashinski, South Africa’s Busiswa and fellow Nigerian musician Davido.
