UGO is a Los Angeles based recording artist with roots in Washington D.C, Detroit, New York, London, and Nigeria. Raised uptown in D.C.’s old Nigerian Embassy, U-G-O’s exposure to
rap & dance music was as a break dancing youth of the inner city. He has since grown to share stages with many major artists, performing in several U-S and international cities.
A few years ago, U-G-O moved to Los Angeles to study film and further his music career. He co-produced and directed his own video with Cee Knowledge of the Grammy award winning rap
band, Digable Planets. "Straight from the Heart" faired well on Bet’s ‘Rap City’, and features cameos from Actor Marlon Wayans, singer Bobby Brown, and rapper Method Man of Wu-tang Clan.
Recently, U-G-O has been found in London recording dance tracks with U.K producers Sacred-8, K-Gee, and Y-tribe. His signature single,"Bran-Nu-Flo", is currently in rotation on Nigerian radio stations, reaching an audience of over 50 million listeners. Some of UGO’s influences include KRS-1, Moby, & Fela Kuti. With Rap, pop, 2 step electronic concepts, original flows and millions of music fans thirsting for "what’s next", Stevano U-G-O will fulfill his roll in the global expansion of world-beat, dance, and hip-hop.
"I grew up listening to both American and African music and wanted to create songs that would be appreciated by all. It’s not who you are or where you’re from – it’s about believin’ in yourself as you connect with others. Music is universal".
