Chisom (Chisom
Uzosike) is a 23-year old producer, rapper and creative director, born
in Detroit and raised in Maryland. He’s the eldest son of Nigerian
immigrants, and the first in his family born in America. While his
father exposed him to music from all corners of Africa in the house,
young Chisom discovered Hip Hop in elementary school, where his
classmates introduced him to Baltimore’s local Hip Hop/R&B station.
Chisom
began producing Hip Hop music at 17, inspired by stars like DJ Premier,
The Neptunes and Kanye West. Drawing from his love of music of all
genres, his keen ear for samples and his Nigerian roots, he quickly
developed a striking, eclectic style. His work has been praised by music
critics and featured on Sway in the Morning, Chuck D's
AndYouDon'tStop!, The Fader, RESPECT Mag, Nigerian Sounds, and more.
Gifted
with a smooth flow and deep, resonant voice, Chisom combines slick
wordplay with real-life themes and vibrant production. His
cultural/musical influences shine through every song: the verbal
dexterity and swagger of the East Coast, the entrancing rhythms of
Afrobeat, and the ultra cool, laid-back attitude of the West Coast.
