NYANDA Thorbourne, former Brick and Lace member, has been creating waves in sections of Africa with Trouble.

Since its release in July, the music video has so far earned a number one spot on the top 20 charts in Uganda and Kenya. It also gained a place on the UK Music Week Top 30 Club Charts where it stayed for six weeks.

“Initially, we never even planned to do a video for the song, but we started receiving tremendous feedback and requests for a video to accompany the vocals. The requests just became so overwhelming that we had to do it for the fans and I am happy to see the result and the reception that it has been getting,” said Nyanda.

The singer was appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for Youth Organisations in Uganda through the Reach a Hand programme in January of this year.

She also headlined a Women’s Day Concert and is actively engaged in educating youths on issues surrounding teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. A single, Your Ways, was released to coincide with the campaign.
