UZUAZO delivers soul-baring performances over captivating samples and floor-rattling drum patterns. The Nigerian-Canadian hip-hop artist and producer switches comfortably between introspective lyricism, playful bars, and memorable choruses showcasing his ability to have the crowd bursting with energy and singing along.
Now based in Toronto, Canada, UZUAZO has come a long way from secretly recording tracks at night during his early teenage years at boarding school in Yaoundé, Cameroon where he started his musical journey.
His music has always been about self-discovery and candid expression. In 2019, UZUAZO independently released his positively received debut album titled 'King of Distractions' described by Complex Canada as "a focused tape full of introspective bangers and dizzying flows". Fully produced, recorded, and written by the talent the full-length comes packed with standout features from Chicago lyricist Mick Jenkins and SUPER FREDDY.
In 2020—following a bi-weekly song release series—UZUAZO released the 'Flood Season' EP named after the series.
On February 24th, 2023 UZUAZO released his new EP titled 'Like Never Before'. The self-produced 6-track EP represents the changes in his life since moving from Montreal to Toronto and introduces listeners to his new chapter. The two singles from the project—'The Myth' and 'I Got A Chance' have garnered attention back in UZUAZO’s hometown of Lagos, Nigeria, and have been featured on SoundCity television channel and popular Nigerian radio stations—Wazobia FM and Cool FM.
He returns with his first release of 2024: ‘What We Doing’ — a fiery single providing insight into his artistic direction in the new year.
