NRG Radio Uganda, 106.5 FM — widely recognized as the #1 Name in Music — has officially unveiled celebrated media personality Mr. Henrie (Arinaitwe Henry) as the newest addition to its dynamic on-air team.

Known for his authenticity, deep connection with audiences, and influential voice in Uganda’s entertainment industry, Mr. Henrie’s move marks a major milestone in NRG Radio’s mission to shape youth culture and redefine modern African entertainment.

Speaking about his new chapter, Mr. Henrie said his decision was driven by the desire for growth and alignment with a forward-thinking brand.

“What young people are creating, the world is now consuming. NRG’s voice, energy, and platforms are defining what modern African entertainment, fashion, and lifestyle look like. Bringing in talent like Mr. Henrie strengthens our mission to drive culture forward, not just for Uganda, but for a new Africa that’s loud, confident, and globally influential.”
