Career[edit]
Tonda Nasser got his stage name Sesa Bat after his cousin brother nicknaming him Sesa at the age of 10 for his being funny and stubborn, he twisted it from Nasser. When Nasser joined Kisaasi College in his Form 3, he realised the unique talents he had from Rap to Art and Soccer which prompted him to add Bat to his name because he was unique just like the only flying mammal (BAT) which uses echos to move.[7]
In 2015, Sesa Bat immitated the emoji faces while doing different face reactions and the pictures went viral beyond boarders, by then he was in his first year at Makerere University.
