The Turntable Teachers

On Episode 65 of the Guest Speaker Series, Mike is joined by Afrobeat artist Uche Malik. Mike sits down with Uche for a riveting conversation ranging from many topics, including Uche's early days in Boston where he worked as an A&R and DJ, only to then find himself pursuing a music career of his own, thanks in large part to his Nigerian background and his father's encouragement. He also talks about his unique upbringing where he spent a lot of time in his native country of Nigeria, as well as the UK, and how having global experiences helped shape and create his sound as an artist. Uche also discusses his acclaimed 2021 EP 'Jiggy Boy', his latest single "Rizza!", the state of Afrobeat music in the US and across the world, and so much more.
