Shanks Gumaras

Shanks Gumaras formerly known as Shanks Vivid, coined his name out of his Childhood idol, Shabba Ranks.He choose the first three letters on Shabba 'Sha' and the last three of Ranks 'nks' to come up with the phattest Shanks.
Shanks is regarded as the godfather of Ugandan dancehall.

In 1993 Mr. Huub Gales approached Shanks to run an evening show on Capital FM, and in the same year Charlie Lubega was so impressed he put Shanks on Angenoir discotheque's payroll. Rise and Shine Shanks was even bigger now as he mingled with top music producers like Steve Jean and Peter Sematimba, P Emperor Orlando and also was supported by his little sister, Shanks Susan.
