Growing up poor in Uganda, musician Jon Muq was short on plans, but always big on dreams. After first clapping eyes on a guitar in 2014, he set out to make those dreams come true. Armed only with a yearning to go abroad and an exquisite ear for music, a series of (almost) wholly unplanned adventures have brought Jon — via busking on the streets of Kampala and one very big cruise ship — to release his first single, Runaway.
