UCHE AGU (Artist Biography, Lyrics and Albums)

Uche Agu is a global gospel minister from South Africa. Determined to reach millions globally as he’s successfully done in Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean, Uche Agu has infused his musical brand with vibrant sounds of techno, rock, reggae, Latin and traditional gospel sound with the roots of raw African rhythm.

Uche garnered fame in the Africa diaspora as the soloist on the South African musical ensemble Joyous Celebration’s contagiously popular hit “My God is Good”. With well over 3 million views on YouTube since its release in 2009, he has captivated audiences as the headline performer for over 70,000 on tour through the African Continent. Uche’s popularity led him to perform for some of the largest congregations and audiences throughout the USA, Caribbean Islands, United Kingdom, Amsterdam, Italy and Germany.

His new album, “The Glory Experience | Live in Houston” reflects a diversity rarely showcased in the African Gospel, American Gospel and the Christian Worship genres. To create a true, organic yet quality sound Uche has pulled from the expertise of world class recording personnel such as Dove, Stellar & Grammy™ nominated producer, musician and songwriter Clay Bogan III (William McDowell, Israel & New Breed, Hezekiah Walker); coveted vocal arranger and worship artist, Daniel Johnson; world-class drummer Chris Coleman (Israel & New Breed, Chaka Khan, Prince); Grammy™ award winning recording engineer, Danny Duncan (Israel Houghton, Chris Tomlin) and Grammy™ award winning mix engineer, Paul “Salvo” Salveson (Israel Houghton, Royal Tailor). This all-star team came together to create an eclectic gospel mix that blends sounds from all around the world with the synergy of African rhythms…truly a work of art.
