Ugochi Lydia Onuoha, artist name Guchi, was born in Kaduna, grew up in Abuja and has ended up building a successful career in Lagos. She has managed to stand out from the crowd, and not just because of her signature purple hair.

Her Afrobeat songs are catchy and strike a chord, especially with young women. Her first single, No Be Jazzy, was released in 2019, and she hit the big time in 2021 with her viral hit Jennifer, which at the time of writing has been viewed 77 million times on YouTube.

She has just dropped a new EP 鈥� No Skips, Just Feelings 鈥� which she says is 鈥渘o fillers, just raw, unfiltered emotion.鈥�

As she tells DJ Edu, Guchi has achieved all this in spite of pretty overwhelming personal challenges. Her mother suffered brain damage and lost her memory completely when Guchi was a teenager. Guchi takes pride in being successful enough now to make sure her mum is never short of money.
