Edrisa Musuuza, known as Eddy Kenzo, is a relentlessly upbeat Ugandan dancehall artist. He overcame tragedy -- the death of his mother when he was four years old, and subsequent homelessness throughout his childhood -- by throwing himself into music and developing his talent. After he was featured on "Yanimba," a single by Mikie Wine released in 2008, Musuuza established a solo career with the 2010 single "Stamina" and built a fan base with the early albums Ogenda Kunzisa (2012), Kamunguluze (2013), and Sitya Loss (2014), the last of which reached an audience outside his home continent. A fourth album, Zero to Hero (2016), as well as the single "Addicted" (2017), followed shortly thereafter.

Kenzo began making music using his stage name, Eddy Kenzo, in 2008. That year, he released his first song titled "Yanimba" with Mikie Wine. In 2010, he released another single, "Stamina". The song was used as a theme song by many politicians during the 2011 Ugandan general election At the Pearl of Africa Music Awards in 2011, Kenzo was given the Best New Artist award. Kenzo also established his Big Talent Entertainment record label early on in his career. He continues to serve as a member of that venture.

Kenzo continued releasing new music in 2012. In 2013, he held his first concert at the Kyadondo Rugby Club that year in support of the track, "Kamunguluze". Kenzo's first major international breakthrough came with 2014's "Sitya Loss" and the accompanying album of the same name. A YouTube video featuring a group of Ugandan children known as the Triplets Ghetto Kids dancing to the song went viral after it was shared on social media by record executive, Sean Combs. Kenzo also started a petition to earn the children an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. As of 2019, the video has accumulated over 22 million views on YouTube. After the release of "Sitya Loss" and the album of the same name, Kenzo went on a brief United States tour with dancehall musician, DeMarco.

In 2015, Kenzo launched a charitable organization called the Eddy Kenzo Foundation. In January 2016, he enlisted Ugandan footballers, Tony Mawejje and Vincent Kayizzi, to help donate goods to nursing mothers and staff at the local Masaka hospital. In July 2017, he hosted two charity football matches in Masaka and Kampala that featured Victor Wanyama. The event raised funds for Ugandan children with HIV.In March 2019, he opened the Big Talent Soccer Academy in Kampala. The Academy identifies local youth talent and provides education to help foster their skills
