Jose Chameleone, born Joseph Mayanja on April 30, 1979, in Kampala, Uganda, is one of the most influential and successful musicians in East Africa.

His debut single, "Bageya," featuring Kenyan artist Redsan, was a significant hit that launched his career (TheCityCeleb) (UgaMusic).
Chameleone's musical style is a blend of AfroBeat, reggae, and dancehall, which helped him carve out a unique space in the Ugandan music scene, traditionally dominated by Congolese sounds.

Chameleone is also known for his dynamic live performances and his ability to sing in multiple languages, including Kiswahili, which has broadened his appeal across East Africa. His contributions to the music industry extend beyond his own career; he founded the record label Leone Island, which has nurtured the talents of several prominent Ugandan artists, including his brothers Pallaso and Weasel, as well as the late Mwozey Radio (Watchdog Uganda) (TheCityCeleb).
In addition to his music, Chameleone has received numerous awards and nominations, including recognition at the Kisima Music Awards, the MOBO Awards, and the MTV Africa Music Awards.
