Renowned Ugandan musician Alexander Bagonza, better known by his stage name Apass, has shared candid details about life at home, telling fans he prefers sleeping over movie nights with his wife.
In an interview on Spark TV this week, the singer and songwriter whose hits and production work have made him a fixture in East Africa’s music scene said that when he’s offstage he values rest above shared television time. “My wife at home always wants me to watch movies with her, but I hate it. I only always love sleeping while at home,” Apass said, adding a touch of humor to the private glimpse.
Apass, who rose to fame with tracks blending Afrobeat, dancehall and R&B influences, said the contrast between his active professional life and quieter domestic routine is deliberate. The artist described long hours in studio and on tour that leave him exhausted by the time he returns home, explaining why rest has become his top priority.
“I need to recharge. After shows and studio sessions, my body asks for sleep more than anything else,” he said in an interview on Spark TV. He also emphasized that the difference in preferences with his spouse is part of normal married life, and that they work around it with mutual respect.
Industry colleagues and fans responded to Apass’s comments on social media, with many praising his honesty and some joking about their own nighttime routines. A few followers offered lighthearted suggestions from short, curated movie recommendations to compromise solutions like watching one film per week.
Apass continues to balance his music career with family life. He did not indicate that the differing evening habits have caused any serious friction, and fans say the revelation only humanizes the public figure behind the music. The artist is currently working on new projects and live appearances, and says he looks forward to more time in the studio and, when possible, more sleep.
