Kezieh (real name, Chikezie Valentine Oliver-Uzoaru) is a U.K based African artist, producer, and songwriter. Born and raised in Imo-state Owerri, Nigeria in February 1989, where he spent his earliest memories up to the age of 15 before migrating to the U.K. with his family.
He began his career in 2012, and did a number of collaborative works with some of the U.K’s hottest afrobeats artists at the time, but fully ventured into the industry in 2015, releasing his first official debut single “Your body”. “Your body” Kezieh’s debut solo “Your body” is an easy listening light-hearted groove feel music, juxtaposed with funk and Afrobeat 70’s style; it is composed of strong, macho and articulated guttural vocals over the swavey instrumentals well produced by Brass, a young versatile Nigerian producer.
Hate it or love it, you can’t deny his music is unique in its rights, by refusing to conform to the widespread viral Afrobeat high tempo dance music of today, giving audience the chance to experience African music in a different context, in line with just a handful of other artists of the same genre such as Burna Boy, Boj (DRB) & Yung L; which are the top of the very few artists of today he draws inspiration from.
