Ezekiel And Esther

Care and living

Esther and Ezekiel's family plays music. Julie Muteesasira, their mother, is a gospel singer in Uganda who has had hits like "Ekikunyumira," "Lwana Nabo," and "Nterekera." Ezekiel said in an interview on Kenya's Citizen TV that he got into music by watching his mother and trying to do what she did. Esther told the story of how her aunt found out she could sing and secretly recorded her singing around the house. The two are involved in charity work with their parents, and in an interview with New Vision after they won, they said they would build a home for homeless children. Later, their mother got a divorce and came out as gay. After 5 years apart, the two kids moved to Canada to live with their mother.

Esther and Ezekiel's aunt found out about them as singers in 2017 and sent in their audition tape. At the theater auditions, they sang Alexandra Burke's version of "Hallelujah." All four judges liked it, so they made it to the live shows. At the live shows, they sang "Rise Up," a song from 2015 by Andra Day. They didn't make it to the finals because the public voted for Rwanda's Intayoberana instead. But Gaetano Kagwa, Makeda, and Jeff Koinange, the three judges, chose them to go on to the finals.
