Eddy Kenzo didn't just survive a rough childhood having been made homeless: he turned potential tragedy into unadulterated inspiration. The Ugandan dancehall star launched his career as a guest vocalist on several '00s hits, but his breakthrough came with the joyful singalong "Stamina" in 2010. Suddenly he was unstoppable—his next hit, "Sitya Loss", became an international sensation. Viral videos of indefatigable Ugandan kids dancing to the jam certainly helped build momentum, but Kenzo's own light, breezy delivery matched to bouncing, sun-dappled beats also make him easy to love.
