HiPipo Music Awards organizing committee, I welcome you all to the Second

HiPipo Music Awards! Thank you all for honoring our invitations and turning up

with the class and glamour that duly fits this function.

As you are aware, HiPipo Music Awards is an annual HiPipo.com production that

gives music stakeholders an opportunity to recognize and reward artists that

have had an exceptional musical performance throughout the year. The second

HiPipo Music Awards project with the theme, The Fans Decide kicked off in

October 2013 and is culminating into this grand gala night on which we are

honored to host you all music fans and our sponsors.

In my capacity as project chairman and co-founder of HiPipo.com the father

brand of this project, I with pleasure sum up the journey to this gala night as a

journey that has been graced with persistence, perseverance and patience. Over

individual sacrifices and offers have kept us afloat and individually financed our

several digital and music projects at different levels. My heartfelt appreciation

nomination were released and voting on digital online platforms and SMS

supported by True African commenced together with other

event organization activities that are culminating into this

Gala Night. Allow me to point out some big improvements

showcasing the big progress we have made between

the First HiPipo Music Awards and Second HiPipo Music

Awards project

1. We changed theme from “The Online Music Excellence”

to “The Fans Decide”.

2. We increased categories from 23 to 45 categories.

3. Created special categories such as “MTN Most Selling

Song” that recognizes digital Music Sales through MTN VAS.

4. Conducted Regional Tours in 4 regions of Uganda.

5. Changed Venue from 700 seats auditorium to this majestic

Wonder world auditorium.

6. Changed accolades design from glass material to more classy

metal that was funded by our sponsors MTN Uganda.

7. Red carpet increased from 20 meters to 60 meters.

These and many other changes have come with a budget increase

four times bigger than the first project! These big improvements

and changes would not have been feasible without support of our

sponsor brands that believe in promoting Uganda Music. I extend

our heartfelt appreciation to our Sponsors and Partners

1. MTN UGANDA

2. Huawei Technologies Uganda

3. Red Pepper Publications

4. Pepsi Uganda

5. Carlsberg – Our Official Beer Partner 2014

advised us wherever possible. These special persons include

2. Mr. Aggrey Kagonyera: MTN Uganda Sponsorship and Events Senior

Manager

REGIONAL TOURS: HIPIPO MUSIC AWARDS 2014

Keeping in line with HiPipo Music Awards 2014 theme, The Fans Decide, we are took the awards to the people in different regions of the country. This was aimed at capturing the views and participation of as many stakeholders from different walks of life.The regional activations kicked off with Masaka on Friday 1st November, followed by Mbarara on Saturday 2nd November. We then went to Gulu on Saturday 9th November, Jinja on Saturday 16th and finalised with Kampala, which also doubled as the official launch plus nominations release of HiPipo Music Awards 2014.

The HiPipo Music Awards team went and interacted with music fans, plus several other stakeholders including regional musicians, managers, songwriters, music show hosts as well as entertainment commentators and analysts. By the end of these regional activations, a number of things were achieved.

First of all, we had captured the views of regional stakeholders in the Ugandan music industry, which helped us incorporate their decisions in the entire awards process. Secondly, we identified the best regional songs as selected by the fans and other stakeholders. These songs were sung in the local language[s] of the different regions.

Finally, stakeholders at regional level were able to nominate artists in all the other categories of HiPipo Music Awards 2014.

HiPipo Fans and diehards have played a major role in promoting our works and brand over the years. We would not be anywhere without reliable believers. We launched the HiPipo Fans Club that is coordinated by the members above. On a monthly basis,

thousands of HiPipo fans meet in an amazing celebrity get together event themed ‘HiPipo Celebrity Night’ that is intended to recognize the hottest Ugandan Song and Artist every month, plus celebrate Uganda’s hottest new jams of the month.

& Song of De Month Grace Nakimera, Henry Kiwuuwa, Daxx Kartel excite revellers at the HIPIPO CELEBRITY NITE. Grace Nakimera after being crowned artist of the month for October.

The nominees in this category satisfy a wide spectrum of opinions, both online and otherwise. The fans could not have asked for any more or less. The lads have concentrated on delivery, causing music, not words to talk.

Last year, big music brands invested more than ever before in audio and video production. Much as this has been the normal case for an artist like Navio, the Ghetto president on the other hand, attracts attention for taking music rather very seriously and differently. He did at least three collabos with Jamaican star Mr. G and shot two classic videos namely, girls and the popular clean and out which he shot from Jamaica.

Apart from releasing at least 6 music videos, H.E Bobi Wine went ahead and held a very successful ‘Akalimu Charity Concert’.Musically, Bebe Cool had a very impressive year, with very little talking. He started the year with his reggae collabo with Irene Ntale, an Easter concert in Kiwatule and the release of his monster Kokocidiosis hit that later led to a greatly presented Kokocidiosis album launch at Kyadondo. Before reconciling with his long-time Goodlyfe enemies, Bebe Cool performed at the Battle of Champions and Battle of Africa with D’Banj. Bebe Cool recently cracked a big deal with Tusker Twende Kazi project.

Dr Jose Chameleone’s Badilisha hit was with no doubt, one of the biggest songs in East Africa in 2013. The multi-talented singer had a long year full of tours just after his Badilisha album launch. He collaborated with Leila Kayondo in Hooray, did Born Fighter with Mun G, won a number of awards and at the end of the year, released an amazing Tubonge video. Dr Jose Chameleone is nominated 8 times in the prestigious HiPipo Music Awards 2014.Radio and Weasel did not only release and launched a well packaged Obudde album but also went ahead to earn record setting nominations at BET and Channel O. The HiPipo.com sponsored Battle of champions kept their flags so high as we ended the year.Navio, just like Radio and Weasel, was nominated at channel O and had a long year of collaborations with music legendaries such as Keith Sweat, and our own Joanita Kawalya among others. Navio and Dr Jose Chameleone are the most nominated artists in HiPipo Music Awards 2014 with an eight times tie.

For the first record time in their music careers, Eddy Musuza popular known as Eddy Kenzo and David Lutalo earned slots in the Best Male artist category. David Lutalo released singles such as Wa Gyetugenda, Sweet and Nenda among others. Kenzo had Kamunguluze, Stress Free, Come Over among several others.

Grace Nakimera proves Her Stage Muscle

All ventures that make lasting contribution to society must commit to ongoing regeneration to keep in tune with the requirements of their different stakeholders. Eight years since the founding of HiPipo (U) Limited (trading as HiPipo.com) in a promising, yet uncertain, market for digital embracement, constant innovation has helped us demonstrate the importance of the digital marketplace for the successful execution of business strategies. We have all along believed that the digital world enables organisations – large and small, public and private – to engage customers in new and beneficial ways for all parties.For example, over this period, HiPipo.com has deployed innovative digital projects that have helped maintain the relationship between musicians/performers and their customers. We started online with music charts but eventually merged the digital and physical worlds to create the HiPipo Music Awards. HiPipo Music Awards is an annual extravaganza organised by HiPipo.com, to celebrate, promote and recognise music excellence in Uganda.

The Second Edition of HiPipo Music Awards held 8th February 2014, showed our commitment to innovation. This is seen by factors such as the number of categories, the regional tours to four regions of Uganda, the venue change, the improved event production and the deeper digital marketing for the project. Crucially, our innovative digital activities received a vote of confidence from major sponsors in the technology, media, food and drinks sectors. The Awards also obtained excellent media coverage on radio, TV and print largely due to the clear improvements from the inaugural edition of the HiPipo Music Awards. We aim to make the 3rd HiPipo Music Awards better.

We are very much aware that HiPipo Music Awards would not be what it is without the unending support of the music lovers, who invest time and resources to listen to, judge and vote for their favourite song and/or artist. We appreciate this support greatly. We encourage more music lovers to vote. We thank the artists/musicians, for joining us in this adventure. In addition, we are grateful to our sponsors whose resources give us the platform to innovate. Special thanks go to MTN, Huawei Technologies Uganda, Red Pepper, Pepsi and Carlsberg for the much appreciated sponsorship and partnership. We look forward to expanding the offerings of HiPipo.com in the coming years both in digital space and music for social entertainment.

The 2nd HiPipo Music Awards with the theme “The Fans Decide” successfully held a gala night on 8th/Feb/2014 at Wonder world Auditorium Kansanga during which the best songs and artists in Uganda were celebrated and awarded.

HiPipo Music Awards is an annual project and event organized by HiPipo.com, to celebrate, promote and award music excellence in Uganda. The 2nd HiPipo Music Awards project started on 14th October with regional tours to South (Masaka), West (Mbarara), North (Gulu) and East (Jinja). Nominations were released in December to the public through different media houses and HiPipo.com platforms. The voting exercise that delivered the winners was conducted online and with SMS. Music fans cast their votes for the best songs and artists with the voting patterns and results determined by the fans’ music tastes.

HiPipo Music Awards organizing committee is guided by the doctrine that music or any work of art is considered good, if the consumer’s (fan’s) ear perceive it as such. That’s why we let the music consumers nominate, after which we arrange music into categories and send it back to the fans (consumers) for voting. In our view, the fans remain the ultimate bosses in the music industry and this we reflect in the project tagline “The Fans Decide”.It is with great pleasure that HiPipo Music Awards organizing committee congratulates ALL winners in the different categories including the “Artist of the Year” winner “Bebe Cool”.

Even as the organizing committee presented the winners, exactly as they were selected by, voted for and hence decided by the fans’ votes, and given that there can only be one winner among several excellent nominees per category, the organizing committee could understand the frustration of some people when ‘their’ musician doesn’t win. However, for those that did not win this time round, the best response is to quote President Obama who when the republicans booed his policies, the majority voting block appraised his policies through vote hence his famous quote “No, no, no! Don’t Boo – VOTE”.

Once again, congratulations all winners! For the year, 2014, you were the best in Uganda music industry as decided by the FANS. The 3rd HiPipo Music Awards is planned for Saturday 7th February 2015 and we look forward to having much more fans turn-up online or with SMS to vote for the very best songs and artists!

HiPipo Music Awards; The Fans Decide, are co-sponsored by MTN, Huawei Technologies Uganda, Red Pepper, Pepsi and Carlsberg.

The 2nd HiPipo Music Awards project was executed with strong digital marketing that included a dedicated website with online voting tools, a mobile website, social media pages on Facebook, YouTube and twitter with which the project’s more than 50 videos, 50 articles, and numerous photos were efficiently used to engage fans.Among the 45 categories awarded, were special awards in digital, one being the “Best Artist on Social Media” award which was won by “Bebe Cool”, second being the “MTN Most Selling Song” award which was won by Diana Nalubega for her song ‘Kisumuluzo’ and third being the “Best HiPipo Charts Artist” award which was won by Sarah Musayimuto and MC Norman for their dedicated promotion of music online.

In addition to other factors such as the project appeal to youth, it is with such digital embracement that technology giants MTN Uganda and Huawei were sponsors of the project alongside Red Pepper, Pepsi and Carlsberg.The successfully executed 2nd HiPipo Music Awards Project is showing how the population could be mobilized for important activities largely using digital tools. We at HiPipo.com are building expertise that would benefit any organization with a mass market campaign including government. Starting March 2014, we shall carry on this expertise by awarding the biggest innovators in digital through a grand new project. HiPipo Music Awards; The Fans Decide, are co-sponsored by MTN, Huawei Technologies Uganda, Red Pepper, Pepsi and Carlsberg.

Our Cybersecurity Vision

We regard cybersecurity not as an end unto itself. We instead see the cybersecurity controls deployed to protect information, people and physical assets as means to an end. The end of the technical, procedural, personnel and physical security controls is to help ensure that critical information infrastructure works reliably and continues to support business processes even under attack.

We are routinely commissioned to engineer and validate security controls around systems handling vast volumes of sensitive, “Classified” or “Protectively Marked” data. Thus, we help Governments, citizens, consumers, regulators and enterprises operating critical information infrastructure (CII) to gain confidence around the adequacy of controls in place to mitigate cyber threats and risks.

We understand the benefits and limits of technical tools because our core expertise lies in the technical Internet security domain. Therefore, to help you protect against threats to core business processes, we combine technical solutions with procedural, personnel and physical security controls. Our balanced approach helps you select the security controls that match the risks, needs and circumstances of your specific organisation. Our services include:

1. Cybersecurity Strategy Design & Implementation2. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Solution Design3. Risk Management & IT System Accreditation4. Security Operating Model Design & Transformation5. National Cybersecurity Policy Frameworks6. Technical Security Architecture Design and Review7. Cybersecurity Training & Skills Transfer8. Physical Security Controls — Design & Review
