Uché, is a musical force in his own whimsical way. The daring singer, dancer, songwriter, actor, and model enters the scene with an ever-changing cool or fiery demeanor that keeps people guessing. The bold singer has a distinct colorful edgy style laced within an 80s inspired vision, and dotted with influence from rock legends such as Freddy Mercury to Funk superstars like Rick James and Prince and modern artists including Lana Del Rey and Justin Timberlake. Uché never sits still when it comes to the feel or style of his music, stating, “I never want to be put in a box, I find that very boring.” The vibrant young artist's eclectic voice, just like his music, does not take on one form; instead it soars and dives in color, timbre, and tone, uniquely transforming throughout melodies.
Before the melodies Uché was a particularly outgoing little kid raised by his caring and passionate mother a United States Public Health Service officer, and loving and ever-present father in “Small Town,” Minnesota for where he lived the majority of his life and later moving back to Houston, Texas where he was originally born. Uché describes himself as the atypical ‘class clown’ stating, ”I was just a weird little boy that liked to dance and do flips all the time and who just loved making people laugh.” He reminisces, "I remember telling my mom one day after middle school ‘during school when I can make even one person smile I feel like I’ve done my job.” Uché hasn’t always been singing but believes that “God’s plan is always revealed,” beginning with dancing then acting and finally taking the advice from countless casting directors and choir teachers began singing. “As a kid I was just never the standout singer in the family, I thought that place was for my sisters.” Though heeding the advice he finally joined the choir of his High school and church, but he never quite felt at home when in the midst of a choir. He exclaims, “I hated having to just stand there and sway, It was so not for me.”
Uché found his home when he took stage as a solo artist. He describes his performances, “No apologies, I go all out every time. You ain’t never seen a lanky bro ‘Get It’ like a short guy can... until now lol.” As of late, God’s grace has been propelling Uché's career recently winning the ACUVUE® 1-Day Contest, releasing his single “Shoo Fly” along with music video, Sponsored by ACUVUE® Brand. All the while being mentored by Joe Jonas. When asked what is one word that describes Uché, Joe exclaimed, “Energy!” Since then Uche has opened for the likes of Grammy nominated rapper, B.o.B, and Pop icon Demi Lovato. Uché has a bright personality, drive, and talent that will not be silenced. Constantly on YouTube uploading his remixes and live shows or in the studio, Uché diligently works with several producers in Houston and Dallas to write and create now over 100 tracks that feel just as unique and funky as he is. “I love being in the studio because it never feels like work to me, It is just way too much fun and its chill that way.”
