Biography

Levixone, born Sam Lucus Lubyogo on December 7, 1992, is not just a Ugandan gospel artist; he's a testament to resilience and determination. Hailing from Nakasongola in Uganda, Levixone's journey is a unique blend of music, survival, and unwavering spirit.

Raised in a family of ten children by his mother, Winnie Mutamba, and stepfather, Levixone faced significant challenges in his early years. Financial constraints forced him to miss out on completing his education. He attended St. Joseph Mapeera Primary School in Kisubi for his primary education, but secondary school education remained elusive.

A pivotal moment in Levixone's life occurred when his family relocated to Kosovo, a slum in the Kampala suburbs of Lungujja. In 2012, he made the difficult decision to run away from home after discovering that the man he thought was his father wasn't his biological parent. This revelation came after enduring extensive mistreatment and abuse from his stepfather.

His escape led him to a life on the streets, where he survived by doing manual labor and, at one point, even joining a gang. However, a tragic incident involving a friend pushed him to leave the gang and return home.

Levixone's story took a positive turn when he visited Pastor Imelda Namutebi's church with hopes of finding a way to earn money. Instead, he was encouraged to sing, despite having no prior experience in gospel music. On that day, he created lyrics on the spot and delivered a remarkable performance, earning the admiration of the audience. This marked the beginning of his journey into the world of music.

A chance meeting with Marc Elvis and Crystal Fabulous changed Levixone's life. They offered him a place to stay and support in pursuing his newfound passion. His talents extended beyond music; his skills in football earned him sponsorship from Fields of Life, which allowed him to return to school. It was at Grace High School in Gayaza that Levixone realized his true potential in music.

At the age of 13, he recorded his first song, "Usinipite," inspired by the late Mac Elvis. However, it was his single "Nonya Omu," released during primary 7, that catapulted him to fame. Despite dropping out of school, the song gained immense popularity.

In 2010, while singing the national anthem at an event, Levixone caught the attention of Steve Jean, who invited him to his studio. They re-produced "Nonya Omu," further increasing his fan base.

Throughout his career, Levixone has released hit singles such as "Chikibombe," "Turn The Replay," "Jungle," "Niwewe," "Hope," and "Edoboozi," to name a few. He has won several prestigious awards, including the title of "Best Ugandan gospel artist" at the 2016 Extreem Awards in Kenya. His track "Ponya" was recognized as the best song in the East African Ragga/Reggae category at the Maranatha Awards for East Africa in 2019. He was also voted the "Best Afro Pop Artist" at the Maranatha Global Worship Music Awards (MGWMA) in 2019.

Beyond his music, Levixone co-founded the charity organization '92-Hands' in partnership with Trinity. This organization is dedicated to providing education, shelter, food, and essential skills to underprivileged children from the ghetto.

Levixone's life story is a testament to his strength and determination, turning adversity into a successful career in gospel music while making a positive impact on the lives of the less fortunate
