She moved back to Uganda in the summer of 2004 to focus on her own music after working as an investment banker for JP Morgan and Chase. Hany B later met with “3BZ” ENTERTAINMENT, and started working with them. Their immediate chemistry provided Hany B with her first song on the radio within days of her arrival back to Uganda.

The single topped the charts in Uganda and also charts in the UK.

Hany B considers herself to be multidimensional and says UGANDANs will get to see the many sides to her music in her upcoming album. "My album is coming out in June 2020, and I'm really excited about that because persons will get to see different sides of me. There is something on it for everyone; something inspirational to keep you motivated and of course there are love songs."

Hany B's new single, "Gudi Gudi" has been receiving heavy rotation on local radio stations, something the singer says she is grateful for. "I've been getting calls from radio stations requesting it, people have been showing me a lot of love and I'm all about love that is all I bring" she said.

Hany B says she looks forward to taking her fans on a musical journey with her new album "Love You" and is really happy with its development.

She is also an actress who had her breakthrough with her role in Patrick Brown's Glass Slippaz last year. Hany B had a starring role as Cenderelisha and the play received three Actor Boy Awards.

The songstress told The STAR that she recently did a pilot for Jambiz International for a soap opera they will be coming out with soon, but says music is her main focus right now.

"Going on tour for acting and going on tour for music are two different experiences and I enjoyed working with RONNIE DA DON, IAN PRO,BONA, ENOX and the entire team, but right now I'm focused on getting this album out there. It's going to be amazing."
