Iryn Namubiru PAM awards artists of the year 2011

Iryn Namubiru was the biggest winner of the night on Saturday being crowned PAM 2011 artists of the year. She is the second female to win the award, after Juliana Kanyomozi in 2008. Irene also took home the award for Album of the year for her Birowozo and she couldn’t have asked for more in a year she described as year for females.  She also took the best female artist of the year accolade.

Another female crooner, Angella Kalule was a big winner, taking home best song of the year and best live band single for her Katikitiki which was enough consolation after losing artists of the year and female artist of the year competition to Iryn Namubiru.

Bebe Cool, the immediate PAM artists of the year winner was voted male artists of the year and he took the accolade for best Ragae artists group award as well.
