About Uptimeus
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I started out as a rapper because my witty writing abilities were praised. I wanted to be the best rapper until I had an epiphany. I used to sing casually, so I thought I'd try it, and that's how I discovered my new path.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Fireboy DML, Laughter, Tears & Goosebumps Oxlade, OXYGENE - EP Wizkid, Superstar Wizkid's Superstar showed me how realistic it was to have a musical dream as a kid. Fireboy DML and Oxlade's projects inspired me to start making Afrobeat music. When I told my producer I wanted to stop rapping, he suggested I listen to them.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Jara” Jara was a song I started writing in an attempt to win back my then-ex-girlfriend who had broken up with me. She was supposed to feature on the song actually. In summary, all didn't go as planned but I met someone else a better muse for the song(LOL)
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Hearing people sing along to my song for the first time was the most memorable; it was emotional to know that people could connect to something that came to me as a mere inspiration that I wasn't even sure of.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Yes. Signing a good record deal, working with iconic artists I've always admired home and overseas, topping charts globally and going on tours around the world.
