Ivy, Vieux Farka Toure, Luciano, Shaggy, Wayne Wonder and Stephen Marley and Toots and the Maytals. Chicago Music Awards classified her as "Best African Entertainer 2005." She was also the GAMA's (Global African Music Award), "Best African Female Entertainer of 2012" and Best African Pop Artist for her hit single, "Don't Mind Them." Her musical reverberation, part Afrobeat and part Chi-town soul has been cleverly coined Afro-Soul. Generally Ugochi's choreo-poetic style of spoken word has been fused with her unique singing ability in order to generate a more powerful word sound attraction. A child of Nigeria, West Africa, Ugochi has grown into a full-fledged singer and songwriter comfortable enough with her talent for sound and the absence of it. A former rapper, turned poet, gone singer, Ugochi has become extremely versatile and creative with the range of music she is able to perform. long-format recordings:
