From NRGETIC MVPs to BEAST MVPs: A Journey with NRG Radio’s Big Boy Ishaque

Earlier last year, NRG Radio Uganda, a fresh face in the Ugandan radio scene, launched the NRGETIC MVPs campaign. This initiative aimed to discover talented individuals to become the next radio king or queen, social media manager, content creator, and in-house DJ at NRG. The campaign, much like this year’s BEAST MVP, saw over 100 people shortlisted for auditions. From the finale, winners emerged, including Christine Ekakoro (a.k.a. Eka) and Ishaque Nsubuga (a.k.a. Big Boy Shaque) as radio hosts. Also victorious were DJs Beats and Robin Kist, along with social media gurus Deliverance Kutosi and Drek Mugume.
