Christened Chuks Jeremiah Ejimogu at birth in Owerri, the capital city of Imo State, Nigeria, this prodigious artiste known professionally as Ejmiah, is a hard-hitting Afropop musician and outstanding performer.
Currently residing in London, the United Kingdom, Ejmiah kicked off his musical sojourn as a producer who eventually detoured into singing after diligently honing his vocal cords for the job. As the coast became clearer, the young Chuks decided to coin a befitting stage name for himself by juggling the initials of his given names, hence the stage acronym “Ejmiah!
Greatly inspired by the musical prowesses of legendary crooners like R.Kelly and the Senegalese-born American superstar Akon, Ejmiah worked assiduously hard to inculcate their vocal capabilities and unalloyed stagemanship into his own act as he involved. And this is very evident in his unique lyrical storytelling style, vocal delivery, and electrifying performances. His debut single released in 2016 and titled “Back in the Game” is a testament to this, and also served as an appetizer to wet the salivating palates of his growing fan base, as well as a springboard to soar higher!
In a follow-up musical offering in 2018, Ejmiah released a nine-track mixtape that featured a mix of artistes including collaborations with Jamaican artistes, Ghost Dan and Canei. This mixed tape served as an international door opener for the hardworking artiste.
Two years later In 2020, as the world stood still during the global pandemic shutdown, Ejmiah took a timeout to reflect on his music and restrategize his priorities moving forward. Ejmiah got really busy at this time in crafting an intricate mix of his native musical heritage with modern beats which resulted in his creation of a new and entirely unique genre that he sampled in his latest singles “Oro Oro” delivered in his native Owerri dialect, and of course, the crowd-pleaser “Tell ’em” featuring Reflex Soundz.
As he continues to explore more creative inroads and strive for more musical excellence, Ejmiah is currently working with the same crop of established producers and Eggheads he had been working with to create more sumptuous musical puddings for our collective consumptions. Some of these producers who are renowned for dropping hits after hits off their musical laboratories includes, but not limited to Mixlegend, Sosobeats, Justeebeats, and Reflex Soundz.
Yes, of course, the beat goes on and on as Ejmiah is here to stay!
