With the golden touch of producers DJ Musique and Phila Koshin himself, “Vuka” stands as a masterclass in crafting an uplifting hit - carrying award-winning potential, chart-topper energy, and serving as an instant motivator for anyone needing a boost.

Phila Koshin on “Vuka”: “This song is for anyone who feels stuck or uncertain. ‘Vuka’ is a reminder that no matter where you are in life, you can rise, reset, and keep moving forward. It’s about shaking off fear and choosing progress every single day.”

Blending infectious rhythm with a universal message of resilience, “Vuka” is positioned to resonate with audiences across the continent and beyond, inspiring movement both on the dance floor and in everyday life.
