Qn: How did you end up in the Music?
Kvan: While at 9,when ever anything would bother me,I'd lock myself away from everyone and write about exactly what had happened.At first I thought I was just a story writer but with time,i kept attaching sound to the words and drumming instruments around to its flow into music.It grew within me and that way I began composing.

Qn: What have been your worst moments in the industry?
Kvan: The fact that I have a unique voice and style, it was often hard for me when it came to studio because producers I met then(s3-s5) usually wanted me to sing like others and kept giving me examples of Julianna Kanyomozi,Magla,Bella,Keki and other vocalists and kept directing me into those directions that were so not me.Well not until the likes of Macka Diamond and Cynthia Morgan got quite popular in Uganda that I started getting attention.Actually the very worst of it was that I wasn't categorised at a rapper or a singer,so whenever artists that were specific on either would come to record,I'd be sidelined despite being found in the booth so that I could learn from them.

Qn: What else do you do?

Qn: What do you think sets you apart in an industry where everyone is doing the same thing? 
Kvan: Im unique.

Qn: How old are you? 
Kvan: Am 20 something

Qn: What challenges do you face in the industry?
Kvan: A bad picture was painted by our Ugandan music ancestors that music is for drug addicts and unemployed,especially if its not Kadongo kamu and this makes it hard for message to be passed in other ways.Because of this I face a challenge that the audience is broken into portions and my kind of music goes to an audience that can't afford to buy music online or pay for concerts and shows.

Qn:What advice would you give those who would love to pursue careers as artistes

Kvan: If your doing school,dont drop out for music.Keep writing and visualising yourself where you want to be and above all,PRAY.

Government mouthpiece, Ofwono Opondo is a smart man. While he was debating in TV talk shows about standards of Ugandan universities, the NRM diehard, li Ofwono’s daughter has graduated in Polish university,  Vistula . The proud father attended the 2017/18 graduation ceremony, this time not in Karamoja regalia but rather a black suit and yellow tie.
