Apparently, Chameleone was very impressed on the first day he listened to Genius Levy’s music and voice, “I used to sing Chameleone’s songs, so my friend told him how much he inspires me musically,” adds Genius Levy.

His Challenges

His Personal Life
A note to ladies, Genius Levy is taken by Namatovu Madina who is currently based in UK. However, the Psychology student revealed that he has no crush on any Ugandan artiste but he only appreciates beauty, Winnie Nwagi specifically. “Haaaa, man I have no crush but I appreciate God’s creation. I really appreciate Winnie Nwagi’s beauty, booty and everything,” Genius Levy revealed.

Unlike other students, Genius Levy has full support from his parents and plans to pursue music as his main source of income.
