The Mutesasira siblings Esther and Ezekiel made Uganda proud after winning the first edition of East Africa Got Talent (EAGT) that went down in Nairobi, Kenya on Sunday October 6, 2019.

The duo walked away with the grand prize of USD50,000 (Shs184 million) after defeating the other finalists who included, Intayoberana (Rwanda), Jannell Tamara (Kenya), DNA (Uganda), Jehovah Shalom (Uganda) and Spellcast (Kenya).

Recently, when asked what they will be doing if they win the grand price, Ezekiel said that he will first give tithe to God, Build a home for the disabled and orphaned children and use the remaining money to process the required travel documents to Canada, to visit his mother.

Ezekiel on the other side was born in 2007 and started singing at the age of one. The young star claimed that growing up while listening to the songs of artistes like Beyoncé, Whitney Huston and Ariana Grande, gave him an inspiration to focus and master the art of music.

The 11 year-old is currently in primary four at Hormisdallen School Kamwokya, and he once revealed that his dream is to be a professional musician whose music positively impacts lives.

Besides his win in EAGT, Ezekiel was crown the winner of Uganda Has Got Talent, 2017 at Club Obligato, which also won him a trip to United States of America to perform at Uganda North American Association (UNAA) Conversion.
