Uche Ndubizu auditioned for American Idol Season 17.
And you can add R&B, pop performer Uche Ndubizu to that list.
Uche (pronounced oo-chay) announced last month that he auditioned for Season 17. American Idol returns to ABC on Sunday, March 3 with the season’s first audition episode.
Here’s more about Uche.
* His full name is Uchechukwu Ndubizu-Egwim, shortened to Uche Ndubizu for the show, though the music he’s released to date has been as simply Uche.
* His website describes Uche as a Nigerian-American singer, songwriter, dancer, actor and model.
* He’s opened for Demi Lovato and Grammy nominated rapper B.o.B.
* Uche released a six-song EP called “My Generation” in 2017. He was a 22-year-old student at Texas State University at the time.
* The lead single from the EP was “Mob Luxuries,” a warning song about partying too hard, written after a friend overdosed. But the ballad “Made of Steel” is more indicative of what Uche can do vocally. You can check it out below.
* Uche calls his blend of funk and electronic dance music “Funk DM.”
* He stands 6-foot-5, and describes his performance style this way: ““No apologies, I go hard every freaking time. You haven’t seen a tall lanky dude ‘get it’ like a short guy can … until now.”
* As for Idol, he wrote this on Instagram: “This year (2018) was a trip. It has had some highs but it’s had a lot of really low lows. On a whim, i sent a video to a lady looking for good singers and next thing ya know I’m on a flight to audition for @katyperry , @lukebryan , and @lionelrichie.”
