When you think about a young melodic artist making sweet music, one of the names that comes to mind is Mairlo, the 20-year-old artist from Nigeria. Born Uche Umeh Udonsi, he has always had a passion for music. Knowing he had it in him, he never hesitated to show people what he got. From his freestyles, which he uploaded on his social media, many caught the attention of many, including covers of Bella Shmurda’s ‘Philo’ and Mr. Eazi’s ‘Patek,’ all of which brought him into the spotlight and drew attention to his sound.
Mairlo did not rest on the spotlight; he followed this moment with a smashing single, ‘SWITCHES,’ a song that showcases his versatility, melodies, lyrical flow, and smooth composition. ‘SWITCHES’ made a strong entrance on Apple Music Nigeria when it was released, breaking into the top 200 at 161, then rising to 100, while securing a notable 2nd spot on the Pop Genre Chart.
Following up the success of ‘SWITCHES’ in 2023, Mairlo added to his discography with the track ‘My Baebi,’ a love song for his partner, an affectionate tune.
Mairlo’s first official single of 2024, ‘Obim,’ shows Mairlo’s cultural side, mixing his indigenous language as a way to convey his message to his lover. ‘Obim’ is a song that shows how much love he has for his partner and how he is willing to spend on her truly and do anything for her.
Mairlo’s musical talent is clear, and we are looking forward to hearing more amazing tunes from him. His journey has just begun, and with each release, he continues to solidify his place in the music industry. The future looks promising for this young artist, and we can’t wait to see where his talent takes him next.
