The singer said that he was suspended from school for 3 weeks. He however couldn’t afford to go home and break his mother’s heart. Therefore he decided to always hide in the school dormitory ceiling.
The Smart Wire singer would hide there during the day. His mates started referring to him as Vampire. It was here that his name was born.
“I was suspended from school for 3 weeks, but I couldn’t bear the thought of breaking my mother’s heart by returning home. Instead, I found refuge in the ceiling of the dormitory. The other children began calling me a vampire. It was during this time that the name Vampino came into existence,” he said on the Mwasuze Mutya program on NTV with Faridah Nakazibwe.
He says that their first songs were financed by his Zungu lover. The singer threatened to dump her if he didn’t finance them.
