My Flatmates

On the Ugandan showbiz scene, Matthew Nabwiso wears many hats as a lead vocalist for a World Music band (Soul Beat Africa), as an auditions judge for Tusker Project Fame and as an advertising model.

However it is his bankable acting talent, most especially as Gilo in the popular Ugandan campus TV series The Hostel that he is known for. His body of acting work includes a couple of feature length films like The Battle of the Souls (2006), State Research Bureau (2010) and The Pardon (2011).

He has also as the leading man in short films like Perfect Symmetry (2010) and A Good Catholic Girl for which he has garnered an AMVCA nod.

Mathew’s self-actualization as an actor stems from the grounding he received from Namasagali College, a top performing arts Ugandan college that renowned for a quarter a century legacy of putting on theatrical productions at the National Theatre.
