Master Parrot (born David Sifaayo, 1978 - 1 June 2026) was a Ugandan dancehall and Afro-pop music artist who rose to prominence in the 2000s and was one of the founding members of the Fire Base Crew alongside Bobi Wine.[1][2][3] He rose to fame after the release of the singles "Muliro" and "Ekikompola" songs.[1][4]

Musical career

Master Parrot rose to prominence during the early years of Uganda's contemporary dancehall and Afro-pop scene.[4] His breakthrough came with "Muliro", a song that received extensive airplay on Ugandan radio stations and became popular in entertainment venues across the country. He later released other notable songs, including "Ekikompola" and "Maama Wabaana".[1][5]

He was among the pioneering members of Fire Base Crew, one of Uganda's most influential music collectives of the early 2000s.[6] The group played a significant role in shaping modern Ugandan popular music and launched the careers of several artists. Following a period away from the spotlight, Master Parrot reunited with members of Fire Base Crew in 2017 and released a remix of "Muliro" alongside Mickie Wine.[5][6][7]
