Iry Tina is without any single doubt one of the biggest musicians in Burundi. She is a certified model who won Miss PLANET Burundi crown in 2019.

She later moved to Uganda to start a new music career because of the developed Ugandan industry.

However, she has come out to confess how it is hard to balance music, modeling, and acting. “It’s hard balancing all the three passions (Music, Modelling, and Acting) but when I first came in Uganda I was only speaking French, Kirundi, and Swahili but after a few years of learning, I think I can be in a (Ugandan) movie and it’s not difficult now. When you can speak, understand or connect it’s easy to work with Anglophones,” she revealed.


“People in Burundi speak French, we are Francophone. We speak French and Kirundi, then some of us speak Swahili. Spanish is more like French and at school, I was in a French school. Now I know Luganda. I have learned Luganda to cope up with the industry. I am sure I will make it.”- She added.

Iry Tina is currently in studio recording music with some of Uganda’s top musicians.
