Music producer and recording artist Uchenna Benjamin, popularly known as UrchMan, is using his creative work to promote African culture while exploring the changing sound of contemporary music.
Since entering the professional music industry in 2018, UrchMan has built his artistic identity around African musical influences, particularly Afrobeats, reggae, gospel and traditional sounds.
His productions increasingly incorporate contemporary genres including Amapiano, UK drill, dancehall and R&B, creating a blend that reflects both his African background and his international creative environment.
For the producer, the balance between heritage and modernity is deliberate.
His work seeks to demonstrate that African music can retain its cultural character while adapting to changing tastes, technologies and global musical trends.
UrchMan has worked with artists and creatives in Port Harcourt and Lagos and has continued his artistic development after relocating his career to the UK.
Beyond entertainment, he sees music as a vehicle for cultural expression, collaboration and communication.
Through his productions and releases, UrchMan is positioning his creative practice around a broader objective: using contemporary African music to connect audiences, celebrate African identity and create opportunities for other creatives.
