Killer Music (2025): Felicity Mandela & Doreen Nabbanja

The FILM:  Killer Music (2025) (Drama | Thriller)

In East Africa’s cutthroat music scene, Killer Music is a dangerous record label where fame comes at a deadly price. Ambitious artists Sine (Felicity Mandela) and Mwiza (Doreen Nabbanja) are pulled into a world of ruthless contracts, betrayal, and hidden power plays controlled by label boss Sano and the shadowy tycoon Kamali.

When a string of murders erupts and a rogue detective stirs up the underworld, ex-con Ira is dragged into the chaos — uncovering deep corruption that threatens everyone. As loyalties crumble, the line between the studio and the streets turns lethal.

A pulse-pounding thriller of music, crime, and redemption. The explosive first chapter of a new trilogy.

Some beats can kill.
