WCW: Celebrating Guchi – The Afropop Sensation

July 17, 2024 110

Guchi, the vibrant Afropop star, has been making waves in the music industry with her unique blend of Afropop, dancehall, and high-life. Born in Kaduna and raised in Abuja, Guchi’s musical journey began at a young age in her church choir. Let’s dive into the life and career of this talented artist.

Early Life and Influences

Guchi, the second of four children from Mbaise in Imo State, found her love for music early on. Her father’s admiration for Michael Jackson influenced her musical tastes and aspirations. She started singing for her grandparents and in her church choir when she was just seven. Guchi’s educational journey took her from Edo State University to part-time studies in Theatre and Media Arts at the University of Lagos.

Career Milestones

Guchi’s professional music career took off in 2012, and she hasn’t looked back since. She released her debut single, “No Be Jazzy,” in April 2019. This was followed by the hit song “Addicted” after she signed with PG Records Entertainment. Her 5-track EP, I Am Guchi, released in October 2020, showcased her versatility and talent.

One of her most notable tracks, “Jennifer,” became a viral sensation on TikTok, leading to a remix featuring Tanzanian singer Rayvanny. Guchi’s single “Benzema,” named after French footballer Karim Benzema, debuted at Number 3 on the Billboard Top Triller Global Chart.

Recent Releases and Collaborations

In 2022, Guchi continued to solidify her place in the music industry with singles like “Shattered” and “Speedometer.” She also featured on Rayvanny’s track “Sweet,” further expanding her musical repertoire and reach.
