King Uche is a Nigerian-born musician who plied his music trade in the United States and put the Afro music sound on the global map. He calls himself “FLYGERIAN or The Flyest Nigerian Alive,” which he tried to showcase much of that in his recently released debut EP titled, “FLYGERIAN MUSIC.” He is of the Igbo ancestry in Imo State, Nigeria, but he left the Nigerian shores for Miami at a very young age. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California, where he keeps putting in work to represent his roots and connect to a global audience.
King Uche believes he has a unique story worth telling to the world and, by doing so, propagates the Nigerian culture, musical sound, and symbol and what they represent to the world. Calling himself a “FLYGERIAN” is a way of life and symbol that King Uche represents. Through his music, he wants to shed light on the pain and suffering that exists in many parts of the world while at the same time showcasing the love, ambition, and hustle spirit that many people have in them to change the world. In his own way, through powerful and soul-jarring lyrics, King Uche hopes to motivate and inspire everyone in the world to do more and put their abilities to use.
King Uche has coursed through life and music career by believing in himself. “I do not take No for an answer. My light is bright and will forever shine bright enough to illuminate not just my path but others too,” he says. King Uche is an independent artist, but he established Sufferings and Offerings Music as the record company under which his music will be released. He also intends to make Sufferings and Offerings Music a musical hub for independent artists who wish to advance their careers.
King Uche is all about showing the world that all it takes to make the impossible possible is work. “I will use my label and music to motivate all African youths and show all the lost ones worldwide that this world can be ours as long as we believe and walk in our purpose. Sufferings and Offerings Music was born from a vision – A vision of a better tomorrow. We were born from and molded by human suffering. And we have invested in technology and recruitment to deliver campaigns that build fans and engagement along with streams to generate revenue from the outset,” he says.
King Uche is making music to reach audiences in Nigeria and all over the world. His work ethic also sets him apart as he pursues genuine happiness and wealth. He blends the natural Afrobeats flavor from Nigeria with sounds from Miami, Florida, USA. He hopes he gives many youths reasons to never give up on their dreams no matter how difficult.
His ultimate goal is to become the next big thing in the music industry and use his influence to bring Africans from all over the world together to uplift and empower the African race. Over the next few years, he hopes to sell out concert venues and perform at notable events. He has one artist named Martins Luv, who is based in Nigeria, signed to his record label. He hopes to sign more artists and invest back into where he comes from.
