Fans hoping to see Jackie Chandiru headline her own show will need to hold on a little longer. The singer, who first captured national attention as one-third of the celebrated all-female group Blu*3, has confirmed that a solo concert is on her mind, but she is in no rush to make it happen.
Chandiru rose to fame alongside Cindy Sanyu and Lilian Mbabazi in Blu*3, a group that left a lasting mark on the region's music scene. Since then, she has built a reputation as a thoughtful and deliberate artiste, and she says that same mindset is guiding her approach to a solo stage performance.
A Perfectionist's Promise
Speaking about her plans, Chandiru explained that she has complete faith in her ability to carry a show on her own. What holds her back, she says, is a deep-seated need to get everything right before she commits.
She revealed that her former bandmates often tease her about this trait, describing her as a perfectionist who refuses to move until she feels fully ready.
"I am confident in myself. There is nothing that I cannot do, but Cindy and Lilian always complain that I am a perfectionist. There is nothing I will ever do when my soul is not prepared for it," she said.
That sense of readiness, according to Chandiru, matters more than the pressure to deliver something quickly. She already has a clear picture of what the concert would look like, but she believes the moment has not yet arrived.
More Than Money
The singer also pushed back against the idea of staging a show purely for financial gain. For Chandiru, a concert should mean something deeper, a statement that reflects her identity and her journey as an artiste.
"I won't do something for the sake of getting money. I am going to leave a mark so people can say I am who I think I am," she said.
Her words suggest that when the concert finally happens, it will be built around a personal vision rather than a commercial formula. That approach may test the patience of fans, but it also raises expectations for what she has in store.
Fans Asked to Wait
For now, those eager to see Chandiru take the spotlight alone will have to wait. The singer appears settled in her decision to let the timing come to her rather than force it.
If her track record is anything to go by, the wait could well be rewarded. Chandiru has long been regarded as one of the most distinctive voices to emerge from the Blu*3 era, and a solo concert would give her a chance to present that voice on her own terms.
Until then, her message to fans is simple: patience. When she finally steps onto that stage, she intends to make it count.
