NDU

Bio:

.. .. .. ..
NDU (which means "LIFE" in the Igbo Language) is a creative 23 year-old talent who is known for his diverse lyrical style, intelligent rhymes and stage presence. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on January 27, 1986 to Nigerian parents, Ndubuisi "Ndu" Okwumabua cultivated his love for music at an early age. He was profoundly inspired by such noteworthy acts as Neil Young, Bob Marley, the Beatles, Barry White and Fela Kuti. Ndu, through his young years has become such a powerful songwriter and can attribute his artistry to the days he spent listening to those great musical acts. As a child and teenager, he began constructing eloquent poetry that expressed his life, whether it revealed triumph or tribulation. He later translated those meaningful poems into songs as he honed his rapping abilities. His first album: The Twilight was well received by the masses. His sophomore album entitled: The Rebel Zone upheld him as a bonified rapper and an unstoppable creative force. His music has gained the respect and attention of many people who are familiar with Winnipeg's music scene and is rapidly becoming known nation-wide and internationally. Ndu has been present performing at events such as the Nigerian Entertainment Award Show held in New York. He has also performed songs from his albums at the Winnipeg bar and club scene. A new sound, and a remarkable performer, he has opened up for such renowned R&B and Hip-Hop acts such as Lloyd Banks of G-Unit, Sean Paul, T-Pain, Raekwon, and the Grammy Award winning group: Boyz II Men. By no means does his music have an elitist sound, but instead he produces music that can be felt from the heart of anyone regardless of their place within society.
