Tweehz is an emerging artist who’s the latest in the line of Afrobeat artists keeping the flag flying from the diaspora. The rapper, singer, and record producer has taken the slow and steady route in building a fanbase in his abode in the US and is now on a mission to make people back here in Nigeria believers in his talent.
Though based in New York, Tweehz is as Nigerian as it gets. He was born Chukwudi Udoka and grew up in Lagos. Rap music was his first love, and he made his bones as a battle rapper in the streets of Egbeda. The next key point on his musical journey was his discovery of the digital audio workstation FL Studio. He went from playing around with the application to developing a keen interest in music production. Eventually, he tried his voice and hands at singing and songwriting. Over the years, Tweehz has finetuned all these skills and now stands as a well-rounded artist ready to make his mark.
There is only one track to Tweehz’s name on his streaming platforms, but that’s not to say he’s not been on his ground. He consistently appears at Afrobeats-themed shows held in New York, dazzling the audience with his high-energy performances. It was just last month he opened for Zinoleesky at Times Square. He has also performed alongside superstar acts like Wande Coal and Ayojay and has impressed at every other show he’s been at.
His debut single might not have hit heights, but Tweehz will be hoping to go several steps better with his next release. It’s titled “Rastafarian” and will be on all streaming platforms this Friday the 27th. The track promises to blend Afrobeats, Dancehall, and Amapiano sounds that affirm the singer’s self-belief. From the snippets and teasers circulating on social media, this is potentially an exciting update to his discography. So, mark your calendars, folks; Tweehz is coming hot and heavy.
