Grenade revealed that his journey took an unexpected turn when Big Eye, out of kindness and compassion, picked him off the streets when life had hit him and offered him a roof to stay for about a month.
Regardless of what was going on with his life, then, he was so eager to watch his talent shine that he expressed his desire to perform alongside Big Eye at Namboole.
Another pivotal figure in Grenade’s journey is Don Zella, Big Eye’s partner at the time who had already paid Grenade’s school fees, demonstrating her belief in his potential.
