Dr Hilderman attended Kampilingisa Primary School; he studied his entire primary school without shoes.
Thereafter, he joined St. Josephs Kakindu but left in S.2 to join St. Kalemba SS Nazigo where he completed his O’ Level education and then Mityana SS for his A’ Level education.
He joined Makerere University on a government scholarship where he pursued a degree in Music, Dance and Drama and a paper in Movement Therapy where he attained the Doctor title because he was the best in that class.
After his graduation in 2005, Hilderman achieved a scholarship to study in Nairobi at Strathmore University awarded by Aghkan University, because he had gotten a 1st class degree at Makerere University.
However, he turned down the offer to pursue a postgraduate diploma in leadership management which he completed in 2007.
Hilderman released his first single though it wasn’t a popular hit.
This was because he was still in school and couldn’t balance the two. “It was really hard I would have class in the morning and then I would have to record or do a show at night so I had to quit.”
In 2006, after he was done with school he concentrated on his music and got his breakthrough when he released his hit song “Double Bed Mazongoto.” This was a breakthrough for Hilderman.
